Fivers Aim to Use Article V for Balanced Budget Amendment
The Goldwater Institute promotes a compact that would call a constitutional convention under Article V to adopt a balanced budget amendment with strict limits on debt and spending. It would limit outlays to receipts, permit debt only with state approval, and require tax changes to pass two thirds of Congress, while keeping a 24 hour convention limit. The movement, dubbed Fivers, argues states can form compacts to trigger a convention without congressional approval. George Will notes contact details in his legacy commentary.
