H151 would create an application by the General Assembly to the U.S. Congress for a federal constitutional convention for the purpose of proposing a U.S. constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress.
The North Carolina State Senate passed H151 on December 2, 2024 by a vote of 29 to 20. We have assigned pluses to the nays because efforts to call an Article V convention should be resisted. The states should act immediately to nullify all unconstitutional federal laws, rather than risk a constitutional 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.
