Representatives and to set a limit on the number of terms that a person may be elected as a member of the United States Senate; and

Be It Further Resolved that this application shall be considered as covering the same subject matter as the applications
from other states to Congress to call a convention to set a limit on the number of terms that a person may be elected to the House of
Representatives of the Congress of the United States and the Senate of the United States; and this application shall be aggregated with same
for the purpose of attaining the two-thirds of states necessary to require Congress to call a limited convention on this subject, but shall not
be aggregated with any other applications on any other subject; and
