House Concurrent Resolution No. 10, proposed by the Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee of Idaho, seeks to make three separate applications to the United States Congress for the purpose of calling a convention of the states under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The resolution emphasizes the need for amendments that would address issues such as balancing the federal budget, imposing fiscal restraints on the federal government, limiting its power and jurisdiction, and establishing term limits for federal officials and members of Congress. The resolution reflects the belief that the federal government has overstepped its bounds and that it is the responsibility of the states to protect the liberties of their citizens.

The resolution outlines a process for these applications, directing the Secretary of State to transmit copies to relevant congressional leaders and other state legislatures to garner support. Each application is designed to be a continuing request until two-thirds of the states have made similar applications or until December 31, 2031. The resolution underscores the urgency of addressing federal fiscal irresponsibility and governmental overreach, asserting that these amendments are necessary for the protection of future generations.
