HCONRES 15 United States House · 119th Congress

Calling an Article V Convention for proposing a Fiscal Responsibility Amendment to the United States Constitution and stipulating ratification by a vote of We the People, and for other purposes.

HCONRES 15 is a procedural resolution calling for an Article V constitutional convention to propose a Fiscal Responsibility Amendment. It asserts that 34 states (meeting the two-thirds requirement) have submitted applications for such an amendment, triggering Congress's constitutional duty to convene the convention. The resolution specifies that any proposed amendment must be ratified by a popular vote in 38 states (three-quarters of all states), with delegates bound by the voters' choice as affirmed in the *Chiafalo v. Washington* Supreme Court case. This resolution does not create new policy but outlines the process for convening the convention and ratifying the amendment.
