It would take 2/3rds of the Congress to propose such an Amendment so that is not going to happen. It would also take 2/3rds of the states to vote in favor of it, and that is not going to happen either. This idea is dead on arrival.

From your mouth to God's ear. I mean, you're right about the Constitutional process and what not, but this Empty Suit cares nothing for such things. And I'm sure, if he could twist Detroit's arm this way, what could he do to Congress? (he asked, fearfully)

There’s no way they think they’re going the 2/3rds route. They’re going to try to get the 22nd ruled unconstitutional.

They’re laying the groundwork for the day they get their 5th firm vote on SCOTUS. There’s big money behind this. Soros, Fenton, al-Mansour/Saudi money.
