Term Limits Convention Progress Map


34 States Can Bypass Congress To Propose A Congressional Term Limits Amendment!

The U.S. Constitution provides the state legislatures authority to propose amendments without the approval of Congress. To make it happen, 34 state legislatures must pass resolutions to call a convention for the states to propose a congressional term limits amendment.

Now, here is where it gets a bit complicated. The States don’t always pass the exact same application. So, today there are four state legislatures that have passed the U.S. Term Limits (USTL) single-subject application for congressional term limits, and there are 15 that have passed applications for multiple subjects that include congressional term limits.

So Where do We Stand Now?

Four states, Florida, Alabama, Missouri and West Virginia have passed USTL’s applications specific to the single subject congressional term limits. Fifteen states (indicated as medium blue on the map) 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, USTL is fighting to pass our single-subject congressional term limits application in 34 states.

To date, we have passed chambers in Utah, Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina, in addition to the states we passed completely (Florida, Alabama, Missouri and West Virginia). In 2021, we have introduced resolutions in at least 17 states and passed through many 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 balancing 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 our goal!

Passage of single subject term limits resolutions are displayed on the following map. These are USTL resolutions that have either passed committees, passed either the house or the senate or have passed completely through the state legislature.
