No, the State's start the process, Congress has to call it by law (Constitution), but haven't in the past. The GOP does control congress (somewhat), and we have hot potato IRS issue now working for us. Perhaps opportunity is knocking...
The GOP does not control Congress in reality. In reality the Congress abdicated its powers to the executive branch
“No, the State’s start the process”
The states can call for a convention. They may not submit an amendment to the other states for ratification. Amendments must come from the Congress or a convention. That’s what I meant.
