A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

APPLYING TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES TO CALL A CONVENTION FOR
PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES

(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)


CoOrwanRwne

H.C.R. 2010

Whereas, the founders of the Constitution of the United States
empowered state legislators to be guardians of liberty against future
abuses of power by the federal government; and

Whereas, the federal government has created a crushing national debt
through improper and imprudent spending; and

Whereas, the federal government has invaded the legitimate role of
the states through the manipulative process of federal mandates, most of
which are unfunded to a great extent; and

Whereas, the federal government has ceased to live under a proper
interpretation of the Constitution of the United States; and

Whereas, it is the solemn duty of the states to protect the liberty
of our people, particularly for the generations to come, and to propose
amendments to the Constitution of the United States through a convention
of the states under Article V to place clear restraints on these and
related abuses of power.

Therefore
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona,
the Senate concurring:

1. That, pursuant to Article V of the Constitution of the United
States, the Legislature of the State of Arizona formally applies to the
Congress of the United States to call a convention of the states limited
to proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States that
impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and
jurisdiction of the federal government and limit the terms of office for
federal officials and for members of Congress.

2. That this application constitutes a continuing application in
accordance with Article V of the Constitution of the United States until
at least two-thirds of the legislatures of the several states have made
application on the same subjects.

3. That this application is revoked, withdrawn, nullified and
superseded, retroactive to the date of enactment, if the application is
used for the purpose of calling a convention or is used in support of
conducting a convention to amend the Constitution of the United States for
any purpose other than to impose fiscal restraints on the federal
government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government or
jimit the terms of office for federal officials and members of Congress.

4. That the Legislature of the State of Arizona may provide further
instructions to its delegates and may recall its delegates at any time for
a breach of duty or a violation of the instructions provided. The Arizona
delegates are instructed to not support term Jimits for members of
Congress that would limit their number of years in any given office to
fewer than twelve years.
