This video shows the floor debate and vote to pass California AJR-1 out of the Assembly Judiciary Committee on April 2, 2013. If approved by the full Assembly, it will go on to the State Senate where, if approved, it will constitute an application for a Constitutional Convention. Another resolution passed out of Committee recently in the Minnesota House and Senate. In this video, Assembly Members Dickinson and Garcia were out of the room during the vote, but later voted to approve the measure.

Those proposals must be ratified by 38 States, just like any Amendment proposed by Congress. |
