It's not a constitutional convention, it's a convention of states per article V of the Constitution. It requires 2/3rds of the states to draft an amendment and 3/4s of the states to ratify that amendment.

It is NOT a free-for-all.

Once a national convention is convened by 2/3’d of the states then they can offer any amendments to the constitution they want. If 3/4 of the states vote to pass any such amendment then it becomes part of the constitution. Once that convention has been convened everything can be on the table. Very risky in this day of the LIV and entitlement crowd who may be the majority.

Well said!

The real problem that we face was illustrated in the post that you replied to.

Uninformed individuals need to be brought up to speed.
