AI Summary

  • Applies for a constitutional convention under Article V to propose an amendment requiring state legislative approval for any increase in federal debt.

  • Declares that Oklahoma's Legislature favors this amendment, which would give individual states veto power over increases to the federal debt limit.

  • Limits the proposed convention strictly to this single issue and prevents it from considering any other constitutional amendments.

  • Establishes this as a continuing application that remains in effect until at least two-thirds of state legislatures make equivalent applications.
