    Applies to Congress to call a convention limited to proposing an amendment to the US Constitution limiting the number of terms that a person may be elected as a member of the US House of Representatives and as a member of the US Senate. Requires the Secretary of State to transmit copies of this application to the named entities. Provides that this application is to be considered as covering the same subject matter as the applications from other states to Congress to call a convention to limit the number of terms that a person may be elected to for the US House and Senate and requires that the application be aggregated with those applications from other states for the purpose of attaining the two-thirds of states necessary to call a limited convention on this subject, but prohibits aggregation with any other applications on any other subject. Specifies that this is a continuing application until the legislatures of at least two-thirds of the states have made applications on the same subject.
