COLUMBUS, Ohio ~ COLUMBUS, Ohio - In an effort to push for term limits on members of Congress, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was invited by the U.S. Term Limits organization to meet with legislative members of the Ohio House of Representatives and Ohio Senate today. The goal of the meeting was to encourage the passage of a resolution calling for term limits.
Governor DeSantis, who has been a vocal advocate for term limits, believes that this change is necessary in order to shift the focus of members of Congress from reelection to tangible accomplishments. "D.C. will never fix itself," he stated. "Term limits will change the incentives for members of Congress from focusing on reelection to focusing on tangible accomplishments."
The U.S. Constitution grants state legislatures the authority to propose amendments without the approval of Congress. In order to call a U.S. Term Limits Convention, two-thirds of the 50 states must pass similar resolutions. Currently, Florida is among twelve states that have passed resolutions through both chambers of its state legislature, including Alabama, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
