I see that the (Republicrat Party selected) state legislatures will call for the convention and will vote on the final ratification but which human beings will be sent to the convention to sit in the room and propose the amendments and work on their language? Do you think you will receive an invitation?
So, my local Republican state rep. with dreams of some day playing with the big boys will determine his ratification vote completely on his own, right? He won't be influenced at all by the RNC or Boehner or Tiberi, right?
If this were to happen, the same people who are currently sneaking in amnesty, funding Obama care, refusing to even calculate the growing debt, allowing the Supreme Court to write law, funding Planned Parenthood, etc.... would be the ones that would draft the amendments and direct the state legislators how to vote on them.
They are currently in the position to do so because we the people put them there.
The Constitution is fine. The people are broken.
Why do you think I or anyone should be obliged to answer your question? You have Google, use it.
Delegates to state conventions can either be voted by popular election or can be appointed by state legislatures.
It says clearly that state legislatures shall apply for a convention to propose amendments. Obviously state legislatures control the game in the amendments phase.
When it comes to the ratification phase, Congress can select either state legislatures or state conventions. The reasoning here is that some issues have popular grassroots passions and would be more suited for state conventions. For the conventions path, delegates could be chosen by special election.
The bottom line is that conservatives control a large majority of the statehouses. In fact, the 2010 tsunami of Tea Party grassroots swept statehouses far more than Congress.
Do a little research on the net and you will find out how delegates are selected or elected, how statehouses are organized to apply etc.
