I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

Are you saying that Mark Levin acknowledges that congress calls the convention?

From Marks book on page 16-17.

“””” By the fifth article of the plan, Congress will be obliged’ on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the States [ which at the present amount to nine], to call a convention for proposing amendments, which shall be valid, to all intents and purposes, as part of the Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the States, or by conventions in three fourths thereof.’ The words of this article are peremptory. The Congress’ shall call a convention,’ Nothing in this particular is left to the discretion of that body.”””

It is clear that Mark states exactly what the author of this article states above. That the congress must call the convention when petitioned by 3/4 of the states. The author obviously has not read Marks book or listened to his radio show.

I have not read the book but found this quote in a matter of just a few minutes. I knew it would be there in the book because I have listen to Marks show and he has stated this many times.

I would suggest that the Author actually reads the book before stuffing her foot in her mouth.

Levin has adressed this point over and over. It’s a ministerial action, nothing more, and he has had constitutional scholars on who say exactly the same thing. They cannot refuse.

They issue a procedural acknowledgement.

Read the book, he explains it concisely.
