If the House Republicans want a constitutional amendment, there is an easy option that doesn’t require 3/4th of both houses of the corrupt Federal legislator.
Recognize some of the nearly 700 calls by 49 of the 50 States for a Constitutional convention over the last 200 years and actually carry out your supposedly “ministerial function” of calling that convention!
Of course doing that would require a major leap of faith on the part of the house leadership. Giving up control of the process to our State Governments. Such a leap in doing their duty is perhaps too powerful for even the republicans engage in.
You do realize that once a Constitutional Convention is called, it is not restricted to dealing with just that one amendment. They could change anything they want. There is no way we want to open up our constitution to this possibility.
