Arizona House Passes Resolution to Term Limit Congress
PHOENIX, AZ — The Arizona House of Representatives has passed House Concurrent Resolution 2043 (HCR2043), a pivotal measure calling for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to implement term limits on Congress. Led by Representative Jeff Weninger and spearheaded by the nonpartisan organization U.S. Term Limits (USTL), the resolution passed the floor with a 33-24 vote.
The victory in the House follows further momentum in the state senate, where a companion resolution passed through committee earlier today. The measure now makes its way to the Senate floor for a final vote.
“The passage of HCR2043 proves that Arizona is tired of waiting on the political elite to fix a broken D.C.,” said USTL President Philip Blumel. He continued, “By exercising their constitutional authority, Arizona legislators are putting Congress on notice: either propose the term limits amendment now, or the states will do it for you. It is time to return power to the citizens.”
Public sentiment in the Grand Canyon State remains overwhelmingly in favor of the reform. According to a recent RMG Research poll, 79% of likely voters in Arizona support congressional term limits, showing a rare and powerful consensus among Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike.
Currently, more than 45 Arizona legislators have signed the U.S. Term Limits pledge, committing to support the resolution. Upon passage in the Senate, Arizona will officially join the growing list of states applying for a national convention with the exclusive purpose of proposing term limits on the U.S. Congress.
Under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, once 34 state legislatures pass similar resolutions, a convention is called to propose the amendment, which must then be ratified by 38 states. Should Congress propose the amendment, the states would still need to ratify it in order for it to be codified into the Constitution.
Today’s vote brings the nation one step closer to restoring a citizen legislature and renewing trust in the democratic process.
