HCR51 calls for a “convention of states” to amend the United States Constitution to establish a limitation on terms for members of Congress.
The Senate passed HCR51 on June 3, 2021, by a vote of 21 to 13. We have assigned pluses to the nays because term limits conflict with the right of the American people to choose their representatives. Moreover, states should act immediately to nullify all unconstitutional federal laws, rather than risk an Article V convention. Article V of the U.S. Constitution was designed to correct potential errors or defects in the Constitution, not the failure of elected officials to uphold their oath of office.
