WHEREAS, The General Assembly of the State of Ohio favors the
proposal and ratification of an amendment to said Constitution
which shall provide that an increase in the federal debt requires

convention to be called for the purpose of proposing an amendment
which shall provide that an increase in the federal debt requires
approval from a majority of the legislatures of the separate
states; and be it further |
RESOLVED, That the amendments convention contemplated by this
application shall be entirely focused upon and exclusively limited
to the subject matter of proposing for ratification an amendment
to the Constitution providing that an increase in the federal debt
requires approval from a majority of the legislatures of the
separate states; and be it further |
RESOLVED, 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 for an equivalently
limited amendments convention; and be it further |
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives
transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the
President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United
States House of Representatives, each member of the Ohio
delegation to the United States Congress, and the presiding
officers of each house of the several state legislatures,
requesting their cooperation in applying for the amendments
convention limited to the subject matter contemplated by this
