SJ2 would apply to Congress for a “convention of the states” under Article V of the U.S. Constitution “limited to proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress.”
The Senate failed to pass SJ2 on February 1, 2023, by a vote of 25 to 25. We have assigned pluses to the nays because efforts to call an Article V convention should be resisted. The States should act immediately to nullify all unconstitutional federal laws, rather than risk a constitutional convention. Article V of the U.S. Constitution was designed to correct potential errors or defects in the Constitution, not the failure of elected officials to uphold their oath of office.
