I introduced a call for a Constitutional Convention for a balanced budget when I was in the State assembly close to 40 years ago now.

What is a balanced budget? Isn't it simply a budget that doesn't require us to borrow?
The beauty of the American Constitution is in its simplicity and its humility.
The U.S. Government may not increase its debt except for a specific purpose by legislation adopted by three-quarters of the membership of both houses of Congress.
We talk about legalizing the process. Don't we already have a legal process availed by millions of people?
Why do we have a terrorist watchlist? If people on our terrorist watchlist can simply walk into our open Southern border, then why do we have one at all?
I am pro-America. I am pro preserving the values of our country and having a sovereign border.
In June, FBI Director Chris Wray testified before this Committee that there has been an uptick in 'known or suspected terrorists coming across the Southern border,' and that 'the Southern border represents a massive security threat.'
We live in an upside-down world today where Americans are vetted and surveilled more than illegal aliens that we know have a propensity to break the law.
