SJR 2011 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A joint resolution calling for an Article V convention in order to propose amendments to the Constitution of the United States that limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints, and limit the number of terms that a person may serve in Congress or as a federal official.

Iowa's Senate Joint Resolution 2011 is a state application requesting Congress to call an Article V constitutional convention. The resolution specifically seeks to propose amendments that would limit federal government power and jurisdiction, impose spending limits on the federal budget, and establish term limits for members of Congress and federal officials. This is a procedural request from Iowa's legislature, not a law that would take effect immediately. The resolution states it remains active until two-thirds of states apply for a similar convention or Iowa withdraws, and directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies to federal and state officials as required by Article V.
