Missouri applies to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a convention of states for proposing an amendment to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment

The proposed amendment would eliminate Congress's power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from any source, except during a congressionally declared war

The application is designed to be aggregated with similar applications from other states seeking to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment, working toward the two-thirds threshold (34 states) required to compel Congress to call a convention

The application explicitly cannot be combined with state applications on any other subject matter

The Chief Clerk must send copies of the resolution to congressional leadership, Missouri's congressional delegation, and presiding officers of all state legislatures
