“I believe it requires 2/3 of the states to convene a convention to propose amendments and then 3/4 of the states approval for an amendment to become a part of the constitution. A real high hurdle to overcome but possibly it is time to try.”

Is there a reason you didn’t highlight “a convention”?

Have you ever read the Constitution? Recently?

In particular, I call your attention to Article V. There are two ways Amendments can come to pass.

Again, we do not want a Constitutional convention for the purpose of putting forth Amendments.
