Oppose - SB450 - Article V Convention -Dangerous Bill
The Indiana Senate passed Senate Joint Resolution 21 (SJR21) to allow Indiana to become one of the states calling for an Article V Constitutional Convention, in Indiana’s case, to ask for Congressional term limits, something many across the political spectrum can get behind. But SJR21 moves our nation dangerously close to opening up our Constitution for unlimited amendments to be introduced or existing amendments to be altered. SJR21 is now headed for the Indiana House.
Senate Bill 450 (SB450) outlines Indiana’s self-imposed rules for an Article V Convention, clearly spelling out which of the 27 Amendments to the U.S. Constitution would be off limits.
SB450 does not outline which Amendments to the Constitution would up for alteration or rescindment. This is alarming and disturbing.
