Bill > HCR6

This resolution, introduced in the West Virginia Legislature, asserts the state's sovereign right to nullify, or invalidate, any federal government actions that are deemed unconstitutional or that subvert constitutional processes. It argues that the federal government was created by the states through a compact and was granted only limited, enumerated powers, with all other powers reserved to the states or the people, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution and the West Virginia Constitution. The resolution cites historical figures like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, and various Supreme Court cases, to support the idea that states have the right to resist federal overreach and that unconstitutional laws are void. It further directs the West Virginia Executive Branch to identify and act against such federal actions, collaborate with other states to prevent their enforcement, and formally notify federal officials and other state legislatures, inviting them to join in this effort.
