Wyoming legislature applies to Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

The Wyoming legislature applies to Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The proposed amendments would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit federal power and jurisdiction, and limit terms of federal officials and members of Congress. The convention would be limited to these topics and would not consider amendments to the Bill of Rights. Wyoming reserves the right to name its delegates and recall them if they breach their duties. The legislature recommends ratification by state legislatures rather than special conventions.
