HI HR106

Urges Congress to call a constitutional convention of the states under Article V to propose amendments limiting federal fiscal spending, federal power and jurisdiction, and terms of office for federal officials and members of Congress.

Establishes seven conditions for the convention including that Congress has only ministerial power to call it, that amendments must be approved by two-thirds of state legislatures, and that states vote one state, one vote.

Prohibits the convention from considering any amendments that would modify or repeal any provision of the Bill of Rights, rendering the application void if violated.

Recommends that Congress select ratification by state legislatures rather than special state ratification conventions, and allows Hawaii to provide further instructions to and recall its delegates.

Constitutes a continuing application until at least two-thirds of state legislatures submit applications for the same purpose, with certified copies to be transmitted to Congress and all other state legislatures.
