Early last session, my friend Sen. Steve Halloran passed Legislative Resolution 14. This was Nebraska’s application to Congress to call a convention of the states for proposing amendments to the federal constitution.

Nebraska became the 17th state to pass this resolution. Since then, the West Virgina and South Carolina legislatures have passed this resolution bringing the total to 19 states. Six other state legislatures have passed the measure in one chamber, including our neighbors Iowa and South Dakota. Two-thirds of the states (34) must pass the resolution for the convention to be called.
