[Political Junkie Too]

A second ConCon would be populated by current STATE political elites who have been selected BY their fellow STATE political elites. Think Chuck Schumer, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Kerry, Fortney “Pete” Stark, Maxine Waters or their philosophical clones...

No on Schumer, yes on Frank, no on Pelosi, no on Reid, yes on Kerry, yes on Stark, no on Waters, yes on philosophical clones.

Article I Section 6.

[0.E.O]

Article I Section 6.

"No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office."

First question, would the Constitutional convention be a civil office under the authority of the United States? Isn't the reason behind it to keep it separate from the federal government? Second question, don't you think there aren't a ton of Schumer clones and Pelosi clones and Reid and Kerry and Waters clones who would do everything they could to be a convention delegate?
