    2         A memorial to the Congress of the United States,
    3         urging Congress to propose to the states an amendment
    4         to the Constitution of the United States that would
    5         limit the consecutive terms of office which a member
    6         of the United States Senate or the United States House
    7         of Representatives may serve.
    8  
    9         WHEREAS, Article V of the Constitution of the United States
   10  authorizes Congress to propose amendments to the Constitution
   11  which shall become valid when ratified by the states, and
   12         WHEREAS, a continuous and growing concern has been
   13  expressed that the best interests of this nation will be served
   14  by limiting the terms of members of Congress, a concern
   15  expressed by the founding fathers, incorporated into the
   16  Articles of Confederation, and attempted through legislation
   17  adopted by state legislatures, NOW, THEREFORE,
   18  
   19  Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
   20  
   21         That the Florida Legislature respectfully petitions the
   22  Congress of the United States to propose to the states an
   23  amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the
   24  number of consecutive terms which a person may serve in the
   25  United States Senate or the United States House of
   26  Representatives.
   27         BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this memorial be
   28  dispatched to the President of the United States, to the
   29  President of the United States Senate, to the Speaker of the
   30  United States House of Representatives, and to each member of
   31  the Florida delegation to the United States Congress.
