Summary
The proposal creates a process for appointing five state delegates to any Article V convention that proposes constitutional amendments. Delegates must swear an oath not to support "unauthorized" amendments and can be immediately recalled and replaced if they violate that oath. The measure also sets eligibility rules and prohibits participation in conventions that do not use a one‑state‑one‑vote structure.
