Bill > S0033

This Concurrent Resolution, passed by the State of South Carolina, formally requests the United States Congress to call a "Convention of the States" as provided for in Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The purpose of this convention would be solely to propose amendments to the Constitution aimed at imposing financial limits on the federal government, restricting its authority and scope of action, and setting term limits for federal officials, including members of Congress. This application is considered ongoing and will remain valid until at least two-thirds of all U.S. states have made similar requests, reflecting a belief that the federal government has overstepped its bounds and accumulated excessive debt.
