This resolution constitutes a petition requesting the United States Congress to call a convention for the exclusive purpose of proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States proposing term limits for members of the United States senate and house of representatives.

The resolution also requires that the secretary of the Iowa senate transmit copies of the resolution to the president and secretary of the United States senate, to the speaker, clerk, and judiciary committee chairperson of the United States house of representatives, to each senator and representative from Iowa in the Congress of the United States, and to the presiding officers of each legislative body of each of the several states, requesting the cooperation of the states in issuing an application compelling Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments pursuant to Article V of the Constitution of the United States.
