The joint resolution introduced by Representative Arthur J. Corvese requests the United States Congress to call a Convention of the States under Article V of the Constitution. The purpose of this convention is to propose amendments that would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and establish term limits for federal officials and members of Congress. The resolution also provides a procedure for appointing commissioners to represent the state at the constitutional convention.

Additionally, the resolution outlines a process for selecting and overseeing these commissioners, specifying their qualifications, the procedure for their appointment and removal, and the rules governing their conduct and decision-making. An advisory committee is established to monitor the actions of the commissioners and ensure they adhere to the limits of their authority. This application is considered a continuing request until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar applications on the same subject.
