Convention of states.
Wyoming's SJ 1 is a joint resolution requesting Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V. It asks for a convention limited to proposing amendments that would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, reduce federal power over states, and limit terms for federal officials. The resolution includes specific safeguards, such as requiring two-thirds of states to agree on the same purpose before Congress acts, clarifying Congress only has the power to set a time and place for the convention, and stating states would vote one state, one vote. This procedural bill directly affects Wyoming's application to Congress and sets boundaries for any potential convention.
