To repeal the 16th amendment to the U.S. Constitution

HCR 10 is a West Virginia legislative resolution urging Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It specifically requests a convention limited to proposing an amendment to repeal the 16th Amendment, which authorizes federal income taxes. The resolution states West Virginia’s application will be aggregated with similar applications from other states to reach the required two-thirds threshold for Congress to act. This is a procedural step - West Virginia cannot repeal the 16th Amendment itself, but seeks to initiate the process for states to propose such a repeal. The resolution also notes plans for potential legal action if Congress fails to convene the convention.
