COLUMBUS, Ohio – On Tuesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis visited lawmakers in Ohio to discuss a proposed amendment after the Sunshine State took action last year.

In a release, officials with DeSantis’ office said that DeSantis encouraged Ohio lawmakers to pass a resolution calling for term limits on members of Congress.

Last year, Florida lawmakers passed a resolution (HCR 693) with that same aim in mind.

While term limits have been established in Florida and 22 other states, that’s not the case at the federal level.

That’s because of a 1995 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which posited that congressional term limits may only be imposed if the U.S. Constitution is amended.

To do so, two-thirds of the states can request a convention to propose such an amendment, though it would have to be ratified by at least 38 states before it could take effect.

“D.C. will never fix itself,” DeSantis said. “Term limits will change the incentives for members of Congress from focusing on reelection to focusing on tangible accomplishments.”

As of now, only 12 states — Florida, Alabama, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia and Wisconsin — have passed resolutions in both houses of their Legislatures, calling for a U.S. Term Limits Convention.
