Not sure where the article V movement stands today. Last I read, there were several state legislatures that have passed resolutions (binging or nonbinding?) supporting the calling of a convention.
Someone more familiar, please give a brief update as to where this movement lies.
My comment is, we need a president who is on board with Article V convention movement. Someone who sees the need to reign in essentially, his own power as well as congress's power over the states.
I support an Article V convention, but I too feel it sputtering. I've always thought, many in state government seek higher office on the national stage. By openly supporting an Article V movement to strip congress of some of it's power would most certainly taint your resume for higher office in the eyes of the establishment....right?
"Tennessee, Alabama, Alaska, Florida and Georgia have formally adopted Article V resolutions.
"They have also been introduced in 33 other state legislatures this year – including the presidential battleground state of South Carolina.
"Last month, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott endorsed an Article V Convention in his 'Texas Plan', stating that 'each branch of [the federal] government has strayed from its intended role.'"
I think Indiana may have adopted a resolution since then also.
