Idaho Senate Committee Passes Resolution to Term Limit Congress

As U.S. Term Limits’ President Philip Blumel put it, “The people of Idaho 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 Idaho agree. According to the latest Idaho poll by RMG Research, 84% of likely voters in Idaho support term limits on Congress, including strong support among Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike.

SCR114 has strong support in the Idaho legislature as many lawmakers have signed the term limits pledge. Once the measure passes both chambers, Idaho 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.

After 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.
