A JOINT RESOLUTION REPEALING A JOINT RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A FEDERAL CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION TO PROPOSE A BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT.
Whereas, Resolution 5, Session Laws of 1979, called on Congress to call a Constitutional Convention for the purpose of considering an amendment to the Constitution of the United States requiring a balanced federal budget; and
Whereas, there is concern that such a convention could not be restricted to the purpose for which it is called, and such a convention could propose radical changes to other parts of our Constitution;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives, concurring:
Section 1.  Resolution 5, Session Laws of 1979, is repealed.
Sec. 2.  The Secretary of State shall send a copy of this resolution and Resolution 5, Session Laws of 1979, to the Clerk of the United States House of Representatives, the Secretary of the United States Senate, and the North Carolina Congressional Delegation.
Sec. 3.  This resolution is effective upon ratification.
