2/3 of the state legislatures can call a con-con and wipe them out. Biden and Obama. It is in Article 5 of the Constitution.

2/3 of the state legislatures can call a con-con and wipe them out. Biden and Obama. It is in Article 5 of the Constitution. What else will they wipe out at the convention? There are no Hamiltons or Madisons or Washingtons out there. Do you want the Constitution rewritten by the Barney Franks and the Nancy Peolosis and the Mitch McConnells and the John Boehners of the world?

While 2/3s of the States can call for a constitutional convention, whatever amendments are approved have to be ratified by 3/4s of the legislatures of the States. Since the procedure has never been tried, it would certainly take a few years to carry out.
In January 2009, the Congress without objection accepted the results of the Electoral College. Outside of the impeachment process, Congress has no power to vote a bill of attainder (conviction by legislative act).
It's going to be a long, two years to 2013.
