Rescission

States that have passed a Convention of States should rescind it. A recent example is the rescission by Delaware of all of its prior resolutions for a Con Con.

Only eight states have enacted resolutions for a Convention of States, some using language different from others. Each of these eight states should rescind its call:

  • Alabama
  • Alaska
  • Florida
  • Georgia
  • Indiana
  • Louisiana
  • Oklahoma
  • Tennessee
