Senate Tells Congress to impose Term Limits, Honor Constitution

The Senate approved two memorials Thursday that are intended to advise federal officials of the majority opinions of Floridas lawmakers.

The memorials call for Congress to:

--Honor the provisions of the Constitution of the United States and United States Supreme Court case law which limit the scope and exercise of federal power, SM 240.

--Propose to the states an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that would limit the consecutive terms of office which a member of the United States Senate or the United States House of Representatives may serve, SM 672.

The House backed a number of like-minded memorial bills late Wednesday.
