Why do the states need Congress? According to the Constitution, a resolution of 34 state legislatures is enough to call a Constitutional Convention that could propose Amendments for ratification. Congress need not be involved at all. It may actually be easier to get 34 legislatures to propose the Federal Marriage Amendment than to get it to pass Congress.

Careful, the convention may decide to make room by taking out #2. A convention opens everything up.
