Bill > HCR19

This resolution, originating from West Virginia, urges Congress to call a convention of states, as permitted by Article V of the U.S. Constitution, for the sole purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution that would establish fiscal responsibility within the federal government, such as requiring a balanced budget. The resolution asserts that enough states have already applied for such a convention, making it incumbent upon Congress to officially convene it, and suggests that if Congress fails to act, the states themselves, or a designated "Hosting State" like West Virginia, should announce the time and location for the convention, which would be comprised of delegates chosen by state legislatures and would operate under specific rules to ensure its limited scope and efficient operation.
