An Article V Convention of States is NOT a Constitutional Convention.

It's only power is to propose Constitutional Amendments that must be approved by two-thirds of the states.

A convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution, also referred to as an Article V Convention, state convention, or amendatory convention is one of two methods authorized by Article Five of the United States Constitution whereby amendments to the United States Constitution may be proposed: two thirds of the State legislatures (that is, 34 of the 50) may call a convention to propose amendments, which become law only after ratification by three-fourths of the states (38 of the 50). The Article V convention method has never been used; but 33 amendments have been proposed by the other method, a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress; and 27 of these have been ratified by three-fourths of the States.

The Demoncrats ... I mean Democrats ... maybe ... have always wanted to change the Constitution into a “Living Document”. What does that mean? A “living Document” is a document they reinterpret every day to fit what ever they want to accomplish that day and not be charged with violating the constitution.
