Once a state calls for a ConCon, that call remains in effect until the next convention is held. It is not hard to believe that with the ERA and such that this many states issued calls.

My understanding is that Congress doesn’t have to call such a convention unless and until the thirty-four states calling the convention have agreed on the purpose of the convention. That not only has not happened, it isn’t likely to happen any time soon.
