“Why do you think the Senate would survive any type of convention that tinkers with the constitution?”
Where do you see that in Article V?
“Article V
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.”
The output can only be proposed amendments, nothing else. And each proposed amendment must then be ratified by 38(!) States to take effect.
It’s not a “Constitutional Convention,” or anything else. Just a meetingof states to propose ammendments. Because Congress won’t.
It would be about ten times easier to subvert an Article 5 convention that it was to make the steal on the last Election Day. Let’s get that fixed first. If we can’t do it then Article 5 is a death trap.
Ha, ha. Good luck with that.
Once you throw a group of people in a room to propose ‘changes to the constitution’, anything goes.
I suggest you re-read the history behind the last Constitutional Convention. It certainly wasn’t called that at the time, and if many of delegates would have known that such would be the final outcome, they would not have gone. It was for Alexander Hamilton and James Madison to convince the other delegates that a new constitution was required.
As it was, The Articles of Confederation required the approval of ALL the states, and Rhode Island neither attended the convention nor ratified the document until after George Washington was inaugurated.
If Rhode Island can be left without a voice, so can the American Heartland. After all, liberals freely denigrate typical Red States and Red Counties as nothing more than ‘Flyover Country’.
Beware.
