Please catch up on the thread, read post #173, and tell me again what hope COS will provide.
I will only support a COS that will only convene to dissolve the federation. And then, only to prevent the bloodshed that would occur at a result of any secessionist movement.
“I will only support a COS that will only convene to dissolve the federation. And then, only to prevent the bloodshed that would occur at a result of any secessionist movement.”
Umm... can’t happen. Here is Article 5:
“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 ONLY thing that can come out of a COS are proposed amendments that still must be ratified by 38(!) states. Nothing else. Perhaps you are confusing COS with Constitutional Convention, which is NOT being proposed?
What amendments would pass?
Term Limits.
