A joint resolution calling for an Article V convention in order to propose amendments to the Constitution of the United States that limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints, and limit the number of terms that a person may serve in Congress or as a federal official.
HJR 2004 is a joint resolution from the Iowa General Assembly requesting Congress to call an Article V convention. It seeks to propose constitutional amendments that would limit federal government power and jurisdiction, impose fiscal restraints on federal spending, and restrict terms for members of Congress and federal officials. The resolution serves as a continuing application to Congress until two-thirds of states similarly apply or Iowa withdraws, and requires the Secretary of State to transmit certified copies to federal and state officials. This is a procedural request, not a law, and does not change current federal authority.
