i’m not proposing any permanent change to the constitution. however, it could take the form of a one shot amendment.

Good luck with that:

Amendment proposals may be adopted and sent to the states for ratification by either:
* A two-thirds (supermajority) vote of members present—if a quorum exists—in both the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States Congress; or
* A majority vote of state delegations at a national convention called by Congress at the request of the legislatures of at least two-thirds (at present 34) of the states. (This method has never been used.)

To become an operative part of the Constitution, an amendment, whether proposed by Congress or a national constitutional convention, must be ratified by either:
* The legislatures of three-fourths (at present 38) of the states; or
* State ratifying conventions in three-fourths (at present 38) of the states.

A proposed amendment becomes an official Article of the Constitution immediately once it is ratified by three-fourths of the States.

ya, everyone would need to doubletime it. however, if the alternative is insurrection or worse, perhaps everyone would be motivated to hustle.

the immediate issue is whether we all agree that we all have a very big election problem or not. it’s the first stage of the healing process. if the democrats refuse to agree that we have a very big election problem (something which to me defies logic and reason), then we can try to persuade them with more fervor. ultimately if the democrats insist that the election was fair, in denial of all the evidence to the contrary (affidavits, whatever), then we can console ourselves that we tried our best to avoid whatever comes next.
