Applying for a convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution relating to fiscal restraints on the federal government, the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit terms of office for federal officials and for members of congress.
Washington State's legislature is requesting Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The application seeks to propose amendments that would impose fiscal restraints on federal spending, limit federal government power and jurisdiction, and restrict terms for federal officials and members of Congress. This is a procedural request (not a law) from Washington, with specific conditions to ensure the convention focuses only on these topics and cannot alter the Bill of Rights. The request is currently under review by the State Government & Tribal Relations committee.
