Senator Stephen Meredith Receives Plaque for Signing U.S. Term Limits Pledge
Louisville, KY — Kentucky Senator Stephen Meredith (district 5) was honored recently for his commitment to supporting a Term Limits Amendment for Congress by signing the U.S. Term Limits Pledge which reads: “I, Stephen Meredith, pledge that as a member of the state legislature I will cosponsor, vote for, and defend the resolution applying for an Article V convention for the sole purpose of enacting term limits on Congress.”
U.S. Term Limits volunteer Jeffrey Harper presented him with a plaque at Sen. Meredith’s office in Frankfort. U.S. Term Limits Central Regional Director Aaron Dukette commented, “Senator Meredith is a real believer in this reform to have the state legislatures use their authority under Article V of the U.S.Constitution to propose a Congressional Term Limits Amendment.” Last session, the same resolution was filed in the Kentucky House of Representatives by Rep. Matt Lockett (district 39).”
Meredith is in good company in his commitment. 13 Kentucky legislators have pledged support with many more indicating they will vote to approve it. These legislators know that their constituents want term limits on Congress. According to a 2018 poll of voters in Kentucky, term limits enjoy wide bipartisan support. In Kentucky, 85% of Republicans, 82% of Democrats, and 83% of independents strongly approve of placing term limits on members of Congress.
Once the amendment is proposed by either Congress or the states at a national convention, it must be ratified by 38 states in order to become part of the U.S. Constitution.
