PROPOSE TERM LIMITS
IMPOSE FISCAL RESTRAINTS
REDUCE THE SIZE AND POWER OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
TO BE INTRODUCED IN THE 2025 NEW MEXICO LEGISLATURE:
WHEREAS, the Governor of New Mexico is constitutionally required to submit a balanced budget, and the New Mexico Legislature is constitutionally required to pass a balanced budget, thereby preserving the State's financial solvency and integrity; and
WHEREAS, meanwhile, the federal government continues to accrue enormous increases in the national debt, obligating New Mexico's citizens and future generations to insurmountable financial burdens; and
WHEREAS, otherwise necessary federal regulatory protections become costly, unworkable, and oppressive when congested by an excess of unnecessary and obsolete rules and mandates, causing hardships on New Mexico's local governments, small businesses, and working families; and
WHEREAS, a professionalized congress, whose members are more subject to the power of organized pressure groups than to the interests of the majority of the citizens, fails in its service to those citizens and proves unresponsive to fiscal excess and government over-reach; and
WHEREAS, constitutionally applied mechanisms for establishing sound requirements for accountability of federal spending, regulation, and public service are necessary to the well- being of the people;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO that the legislature of New Mexico hereby applies to Congress, under the provisions of Article V of the Constitution of the United States, for the calling of a convention of the states limited to proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States to [1] impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, [2] limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and [3] limit the terms of office for its officials and for Members of Congress, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the New Mexico secretary of state is hereby directed to transmit copies of this application to the President and Secretary of the United States Senate and to the Speaker and Clerk of the United States House of Representatives, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this application constitutes a continuing application in accordance with Article V of the Constitution of the United States until the legislatures of at least two-thirds of the several states have made applications on the same subject.
