List of Rescissions of Article V Convention Applications
Article V of the United States Constitution provides that the legislatures of the several states may apply to Congress for a convention to propose amendments to the Constitution. Left unclear, however, is whether a state's legislature which has applied to Congress for such a convention may later change its sentiment and rescind such application.
If the purpose of Article V is to give state legislators power over a recalcitrant Congress—and if state lawmakers may indeed limit their applications by specific subject matter—it is possible that federal courts would hold that a rescission of a previous application is likewise valid, in order to give more meaningful effect to the power which Article V confers upon state legislators.
==Recent activities==
The legislatures of some states which, at various times, have made application to Congress for the calling of an Article V amendatory convention, have later rescinded such requests. During the period between 1988 to 2010, it is known that lawmakers in 17 states adopted legislation to rescind previous legislative measures to apply for such a convention. Perhaps there were others in addition to the 17 which are confirmed. Remaining unclear from the language of Article V—and subject to debate—is whether an application, once made by a state legislature, may be subsequently revoked by that state's legislature.
Interestingly, from 2008 to 2015 in nine of those very same 17 states, lawmakers changed their minds yet again—back in the direction of ''favoring'' that an Article V amendatory convention in fact be called.
