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
