Are you aware that Mark Levin has been pushing for an Article V convention of states for about 4 years now, and has about 20 states that have ratified the idea. He has a group of proposed amendments to make, one of which is recall of Congress folks.

Yes, I’m aware of the movement. It’s not gone very far plus I think (from what I’ve read) it is pretty open-ended. I have worried that it would be hijacked by the anti-gun mob. But I think if 2018 goes well and 2020 goes well there may be a big opportunity to get term limits. IIRC, Newt got term limits seriously considered within his Contract with America movement but it was unenforceable. Bottom line, I think if the Republicans can achieve large enough majorities, and with Trump’s leadership on arousing the people, it is within reach. The fastest way to an amendment is Congress.

‘Recall’ is very important. Here is one of three amendments put together on FR over the past several years.

************************************************
AMENDMENT XXVIII (’Federal-State Rebalancing’)

To restore the foundational structure of State Legislatures to Congress, the following amendment is proposed:

************************************************

Section 1. Senators in Congress shall be subject to recall by their respective state legislature or by voter referendum in their respective state.

Section 2. Term limits for Senators in Congress shall be set by a vote in their respective state legislatures but in no case shall be set less than two terms nor more than three terms.

Section 3: The seventeenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

************************************************
