A 1995 Supreme Court Decision, U.S. Term Limits v Thornton, declared that States could Not “individually” impose Term Limits on their own Federal Delegation through State Statute.
However, they may Collectively Pass a Term Limits Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Article V of the Constitution allows either 34 States at Convention, or the Both Chambers of Congress, to propose Constitutional Amendments.
38 States must Ratify the Proposal in order for it to be Enshrined as Law.
Four States: Alabama, Florida, Missouri, and West Virginia, have Passed Term Limit Applications Specific to the Single Subject Congressional Term Limits.
Twelve States: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georga, Indiana, Louisana, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah, have Passed Congressional Term Limits Specific Language as Part of a Multi-Subject Application.
To Eliminate All Legal Uncertainly and Positively Impose Term Limits on the U.S. House and Senate, we will need more Single Subject Applications.
In 2021, Term Limit Resolutions in at least 17 States have Passed through more Committees.
To see which Single Subject Term limits Resolutions are currently Actively progressing in States, visit our TAKE ACTION page.
One thing is clear, the individual States understand their Role, their Power as the Fourth Branch of Government.
They Understand their Obligation and are taking Action to Impose Term Limits on Congress.
Every day we are One Step Closer to that Goal!
