The president is not a participant in this process.

He could go as a delegate from New York.

You are speaking of the Convention of the States option of formulating amendment proposals, not the Congressional option. That's a totally different thing.

As far as delegates to a Convention of the States, the provision of Article II Section 6 that forbids a federal officeholder from being a presidential elector would also apply to the position of delegate to such a convention. The supporters of the Convention of the States movement pretty much agree on that.
