Applies to Congress for Article V Convention of States to require balanced federal budget, impose term limits, and revise method of awarding electoral votes.
New Jersey's SCR 35 is a state resolution requesting Congress to call an Article V Convention of States to propose constitutional amendments. It specifically seeks amendments requiring a balanced federal budget, imposing term limits on members of Congress and Supreme Court Justices, and changing how electoral votes are allocated (using the Congressional District Method, like Maine and Nebraska). If adopted, these changes would directly affect federal budget processes, congressional elections, Supreme Court appointments, and presidential election outcomes. The resolution is a formal state-level application to initiate this constitutional convention process, not a law itself.
