What the Evidence Shows

The claim that Florida, Alabama, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wisconsin have passed measures to amend the U.S. Constitution by adding term limits for members of Congress is largely supported by available evidence. According to a 2025 press release from Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis' office, these states have passed resolutions or measures in support of a constitutional amendment for congressional term limits. However, it is important to clarify that passing such measures at the state level typically means that state legislatures have approved applications or resolutions calling for a constitutional amendment via the Article V convention process or similar mechanisms. This is not the same as having successfully amended the U.S. Constitution yet. The amendment process requires either two-thirds of both houses of Congress or a convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures, followed by ratification by three-fourths of the states.ncsl.orgncsl.orgAmending the U.S. Constitutionflgov.comflgov.comGovernor Ron DeSantis Advocates for a Constitutional Amendment for Congressional...

Other sources ( and ) track progress toward an Article V convention for term limits and confirm that multiple states have passed relevant applications. Wikipedia's overview on term limits lists states with various term limits on governors and other offices but does not contradict the claim about congressional term limits efforts.en.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.orgTerm limits in the United Statestermlimits.comtermlimits.comTerm Limits Convention Progress Map+1 more

No sources indicate that all these states have fully ratified an amendment; rather, they have passed measures supporting or applying for one. Thus, while the claim about passing measures is mostly accurate, it should not be interpreted as these states having individually amended the U.S. Constitution themselves.

In summary:

The listed states have passed legislative measures supporting a constitutional amendment for congressional term limits.

These measures are part of ongoing efforts to initiate an Article V convention or otherwise propose an amendment.

The U.S. Constitution has not yet been amended to include congressional term limits.

This distinction is crucial for understanding the current legal and political status of congressional term limits.
