Hate to be a fuddy dud, but wouldn't we need 38 states to move on this?

If I'm mistaken, please correct me. I can't count 38 red states...can y'all?

[donmeaker]

I would like to have the capital moved to “Inhospitable, Wyoming” to start with.

Who in the nazi government of the U.S. has any regard for the Constitution, amended or not?

It's going to take more than a Constitutional Convention.....

[donmeaker]

They say be careful what you wish for...

[C210N]

No, 34 needed to call the COS. That is, 34 to get together and formulate amendments.

THEN, and only then, are 38 needed to ratify. States ratifying need not have attended the COS.

[Still Thinking]

Be careful what you ask for ConCon ping!

[ConradofMontferrat]

REALLY BAD, BAD IDEA.

There is a better, MUCH SAFER way to do this.

The BEST way to reign in these CRIMINALS, is simply to repeal the 17th amendment.

(Which “progressives” and other “statist” criminals forced through, counting on the ignorance of the population at large.)

Crap would change over night.

If you don’t understand this post, you don’t understand how this Republic was constructed.

Don’t mean to be arrogant, but I DO mean for everyone to THINK, and then figure out what I have just posted, on their own.

[donmeaker]

If we had enough right minded people, we wouldn’t need a Constitutional Convention.

What we need is a bit more fail, so that the fedgov is more discredited, and people get educated to become right minded. Barak Obama is just what we need.

[Jacquerie]

I can name 50 states that chafe under an oppressive, consolidated government in Washington, DC.

[C210N]

The COS is not a Constitutional Convention. The US has had only one of those, and probably will never have another one.

In the scenario of a CW-II, THEN after that finishes, from the ashes, perhaps a Constitutional Convention might arise. More likely, IMHO, would be anarchy and/or dictatorship.

In the meantime, we have the COS. It is Constitutional by definition, and has the SOLE purpose of formulating and proposing amendments for possible ratification.

how many states would agree on term limits, just take a guess

[vette6387]

“I would like to have the capital moved to “Inhospitable, Wyoming” to start with.”

That would be a sacrilege! Leave it where it is, Detroit on the Potomac!

[C210N]

Lots of states would agree. The folks that would NOT agree are the targets, that is, Federal office holders such as Sinators and Congresscritters. However, they don't get to vote. States (legislators) do. What aspiring young STATE legislator wouldn't want to limit the incumbants in DC to the extent that it makes it more feasible for that STATE legislator to possibly move up the ladder to a federal seat?

[dontreadthis]

there are only 2 ways to repeal the 17th Amendment, and one of those ways is never going to happen. The other way is what this is all about.

[2banana]

Think what the free sh*t army (which twice elected obama) could do with this...

[servantboy777]

Texas?

[dontreadthis]

if that’s an honest guess, then you should be posting on the Succession thread
