Bill > SJR15

This Joint Resolution respectfully asks the United States Congress to convene a special convention, as allowed by Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution, if two-thirds of the states apply for one, for the specific goals of proposing constitutional amendments that would restrict the federal government's size, reach, and authority, enforce financial discipline on federal spending, and establish limits on how long members of Congress can serve. The resolution also directs that copies be sent to various congressional leaders and New Mexico's representatives in Congress, requesting that the resolution be officially recorded in the Congressional Record.
