The resolution, introduced on March 4, 2025, by the Legislature of West Virginia, calls upon Congress to convene a convention of the states under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. This convention would be specifically limited to proposing an amendment to repeal the Seventeenth Amendment, which mandates the popular election of U.S. senators. The resolution emphasizes that both states and Congress have the authority to propose amendments, and it seeks to aggregate West Virginia's application with those from other states to meet the two-thirds requirement necessary for Congress to call such a convention.

Additionally, the resolution states that West Virginia, along with other states, may initiate federal court action to compel Congress to fulfill its constitutional duty to call the convention. It also directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to various federal and state officials, seeking their support in this initiative. The overarching goal is to initiate a process that could lead to significant changes in how U.S. senators are elected.
