Arizona House Committee Passes Resolution to Term Limit Congress
Phoenix, AZ — The Arizona House Judiciary Committee passed House Concurrent Resolution 2043 (HCR2043), which proposes a congressional term limits amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The effort is led by Representative Jeff Weninger and spearheaded by the nonpartisan nonprofit U.S. Term Limits and passed with 6 yeas and 2 nays.
As U.S. Term Limits’ President Philip Blumel put it, “The people of Arizona are lucky to have public servants who see what is going on in D.C. and are willing to take action to fix it. They know that Congress won’t set term limits on itself. Therefore, it is the obligation of the states to do so.”
It is clear that the people of Arizona agree. According to the latest Arizona poll by RMG Research, 79% of likely voters in Arizona support term limits on Congress, including strong support among Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike.
HCR2043 has bipartisan sponsorship and the support of more than 45 legislators who have signed the term limits pledge, promising to support the congressional term limits effort. After the measure passes the house rules committee, it moves to the full house floor. Once it passes both chambers, Arizona will be in the forefront of the states in the nation to file an application for a convention with the exclusive purpose of proposing term limits on the U.S. Congress.
When 34 state legislatures pass similar resolutions on the topic, and the term limits amendment approved, it must be ratified by 38 states to become part of the U.S. Constitution. We’re one step closer to bringing back citizen legislators to Congress and restoring trust in the democratic process.
