Bill > HCR13

This joint resolution rescinds all previous applications by the Missouri state legislature for an Article V convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution. The resolution is motivated by concerns that such a convention could potentially go beyond its originally intended scope, potentially allowing broader changes to the Constitution that could be harmful to U.S. citizens. Specifically, the resolution nullifies all prior resolutions and applications for calling a constitutional convention, and requests that this rescission be published in the Congressional Record. Additionally, the resolution directs the Chief Clerk of the Missouri House of Representatives to send officially inscribed copies of the resolution to key federal legislative leaders, including the President, Vice President, Senate and House leadership, and Missouri's congressional delegation. An Article V convention is a rarely used constitutional mechanism that allows states to propose constitutional amendments through a national convention, which differs from the traditional amendment process of congressional proposal and state ratification.
