Petitions
The first step is completing a successful petition drive
in at least two thirds of the states. What is
successful drive? It is essentially obtaining the
minimum number signature necessary to compel each state
legislature to pass a bill
calling for a convention to add the term limits
amendment.
Legislation
At least two thirds of the states must pass legislation
calling for a constitutional convention for the purpose
of adding the proposed amendment.
Delegates
Each state will appoint two delegates as representatives
to the convention.
The Convention
Once the convention is called to order, the delegates
will finalize the version of the amendment, and if
agreement is reached, will draft the final version and
send it to the states for ratification.
Ratification
At least three fourths of the states must vote by
popular vote to ratify the amendment.
