Rep. Bill Sutton Files Term Limits Resolution in Kansas
Topeka, KS – Rep.Bill Sutton (district 43) has filed House Concurrent Resolution 5022 (HCR5022) to add Kansas to the list of states calling on Congress to propose a congressional term limits amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Like the other state efforts, HCR5022 makes it clear to Congress that if they fail, Kansas and its fellow states will propose the amendment themselves. The effort is being spearheaded by the nonpartisan, nonprofit, U.S. Term Limits (USTL).
HCR5022 has a groundswell of support in the Kansas legislature. Many state lawmakers committed their support by signing a pledge to cosponsor Rep. Sutton’s resolution.
“It’s time for Congress to be accountable to the people they represent, ” said Philip Blumel, USTL President. “Term limits will help restore trust in our government and ensure that power is returned to the hands of the citizens.” HCR5022 will be assigned to a committee for a vote before it makes its way to the house floor. Once HCR5022 passes both the house and senate chambers, Kansas will join other states in the call for a national convention for the exclusive purpose of proposing term limits on the U.S. Congress.
Once 34 state legislatures pass similar resolutions and approve the term limits amendment language, the measure must be ratified by 38 states to become part of the U.S. Constitution.
