Bill > SCR15

This concurrent resolution applies to Congress for the calling of an Article V Convention of the States, a process outlined in the U.S. Constitution that allows states to propose amendments to the Constitution. The purpose of this convention would be strictly limited to proposing amendments that would place fiscal restraints on the federal government, thereby limiting its spending and debt, restrict its power and jurisdiction to prevent overreach into areas traditionally handled by states, and limit the terms of office for federal officials, including members of Congress, to encourage new perspectives and prevent entrenchment. This application is a continuing one, meaning it remains active until at least two-thirds of the states have also applied for a similar convention.
