The resolution from the West Virginia Legislature calls upon Congress to convene a convention of the states, as permitted by Article V of the U.S. Constitution, specifically to propose the repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment. This amendment mandates the popular election of U.S. senators, and the resolution seeks to limit the convention's focus solely to this issue. It emphasizes that the application is part of a broader effort that includes similar applications from other states, aiming to achieve the two-thirds majority required to compel Congress to act.

Additionally, the resolution states that West Virginia, along with other states, may pursue legal action in federal court to ensure Congress fulfills its constitutional obligation to call the convention. The resolution concludes by directing the Clerk of the House to send copies of this resolution to various federal and state officials, seeking their support in this initiative to repeal the Seventeenth Amendment.
