Rep. William Lawrence Receives Plaque for Signing U.S. Term Limits Pledge

Rachel McCubbin, the U.S. Term Limits State Chair, presented Representative Lawrence with a plaque at the Kentucky State Capitol in Frankfort. In her presentation, McCubbin praised Lawrence for his belief in this reform, which aims to allow state legislatures to use their authority under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to propose a Congressional Term Limits Amendment.

More than 15 fellow legislators have pledged their support for the amendment, indicating that constituents want term limits on Congress. It’s noteworthy that term limits enjoy strong bipartisan support in Kentucky. According to a recent Kentucky poll conducted by RMG Research, 74% of Republicans, 81% of Democrats, and 68% of Independents approve of placing term limits on members of Congress.

It is important to note that once the amendment is proposed by Congress or by states at a national convention, it must be ratified by 38 of the 50 states in order to be included as an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. William Lawrence’s efforts and the support of many other legislators show that the push for term limits on Congress is gaining momentum in Kentucky.
