The joint resolution introduced by Representative Arthur J. Corvese requests the United States Congress to convene a Convention of the States under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The purpose of this convention would be to propose amendments aimed at 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 provides a procedure for appointing commissioners to represent the state at the constitutional convention. It outlines qualifications for the commissioners, the process for their appointment and removal, and the rules governing their conduct and decision-making. Additionally, the resolution establishes an advisory committee to monitor the actions of the commissioners and ensure they adhere to the defined scope of authority. This application is considered a continuing request until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar applications on the same subject.
