Urging Congress call a convention of the states, under the authority reserved to the states in Article V of the United States Constitution, limited to proposing Amendments to the Constitution of the United States to create fiscal responsibility by and within the federal government.
HCR 102 is a West Virginia concurrent resolution urging Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It specifically requests a convention limited to proposing amendments focused on federal fiscal responsibility, citing concerns about the national debt ($36 trillion) and inflation.

This procedural resolution was rejected by the House on April 10, 2025, and does not create new law or policy.
