It is time for the States to start quietly passing contingency resolutions to convene a constitutional convention for when and if the federal government no longer remains viable.

34 States are needed to convene a constitutional convention, and that move cannot legally be blocked by the federal government.

Because a constitutional convention is wide open to any constitutional changes the convention sees fit to include, the State resolutions should be very clear.

1) Each State will submit two delegates to the constitutional convention. As agreed by the 34 convening States, two and only two delegates will be seated from each State, appointed by their governor in consultation with each State legislature.

2) Both delegates from all States will be bound to submit only those constitutional changes approved by their State legislature, and to forward those changes submitted by other States to their home legislature for debate and approval or disapproval.

3) The federal government of the United States will be prohibited from interfering in or even monitoring the constitutional convention of the individual States, and delegates to the convention will have immunity from arrest or detention for the duration of the convention.

4) At the conclusion of the constitutional convention, the President of the United States, the Congress of the United States, and the Supreme Court of the United States will be obliged to carry out those changes to the constitution in accordance with the convention, which will remain in session for up to one year to insure that their directives have been fully carried out. Failure to carry out these directives may result in the removal from office of the President, any member Congress, or any Supreme Court justice who refuses to comply, with a two-thirds vote of the convention delegates.

You’re as naive as I am! and idealistic!

The government will do anything to stop such a move: mobilize the media, send out every dem “spokesman” to denounce it, coopt weak RINOs, threaten collapse of the government, etc.

Do we even have 34, non corrupted, at least politically neutral or conservative states, with governors and legislatures, who have the stones to follow through?

Believe me, you do NOT want a constitutional convention to convene. Their are way too many moderate to liberal controlled state houses in this country, and it is them who will be appointing their representatives to the convention. Conservatives would get nothing, NOTHING!

No my friend, the last thing you want to see happen in today's idealistic world is a constitutional convention to take place that would scrap the existing constitution.

The information stated on this thread about a Convention for Proposing Amendments, sometimes referred to as an "Article V Convention", and erroneously referred to by journalists as a "constitutional convention", is incorrect.
