Bill > SCR32

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. The purpose of this convention would be strictly limited to proposing amendments that would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, thereby addressing concerns about national debt and spending, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, which the resolution argues has overstepped its bounds into areas traditionally handled by states, and limit the terms of office for federal officials, including members of Congress, to prevent the concentration of power. This application is a continuing one, meaning it remains active until similar applications are received from at least two-thirds of the states, after which Congress would be obligated to call the convention.
