Ed Davey, who has just launched a Lib Dem leadership bid, says he will call on the Queen to require the prime minister to revoke Article 50 if the country reached a no-deal cliff edge.
The Kingston and Surbiton MP said he would propose a “cross-party humble address to Her Majesty”.
He added that he hoped Jeremy Corbyn would join in with the address.
A humble address is a direct communication from the House of Commons to the Queen, calling on the government to comply with a request.
If approved, humble addresses are considered binding.
In November 2017, Labour used a humble address to force the government to publish 58 studies into the economic impact of Brexit.
Sir Ed added: “Under my leadership, the Lib Dems will continue to lead the fight to stop Brexit, nothing is more urgent in British politics today.”
The party claimed 20% of the vote and won 16 MEPs in the European elections, boosted by a strong pro-EU message.
A leadership race is currently under way, likely to be between Davey and Jo Swinson, with Vince Cable’s replacement to be decided by July 23.

Praising one of the party’s EU election campaign slogans, he added: “‘Bollocks to Brexit’ was correct and courageous.”
Sir Ed also set out plans to tackle climate change and “de-carbonise capitalism, to turn capitalism green”.
