According to Article V “on the application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States” an amendment-proposing convention must be called. What if we could get a convention called and limit the proposed amendment to ONE?
Well, there’s no precedent, because it’s never been done before... :-)
I actually think a constitutional convention would be a good idea. The constitution does not spell out how delegates would be chosen but presumably it would be up to each state which means delegates could be appointed by the legislature or selected by a state convention or even elected. My guess is that most state legislatures are most concerned about both the erosion of the 10th amendment and the incredibly broad latitude the courts have allowed the Feds under the commerce clause and I believe at the state level these concerns cross party lines. If I am correct about that then the states could appoint delegates and send them with specific language in hand.
As the Feds would never limit their own power the only salvation for the rest of us is if the states will assert their own rights and if they don’t this cold be the beginning of the end of the Republic. The congress will not listen to the people. The federal courts will not restrain the executive or the legislature and the states seem powerless to assert their prerogatives.
