I still don’t “get” this. The whole crux of the issue is our elected leaders are ignoring much of the Constitution. So we want to write more amendments to the Constitution for our leaders to ignore?
Are you suggesting that the current Senator would somehow ignore that and insist on staying on in the Senate?
What if term-limits amendments pass? Would a Representative or Senator refuse to vacate once the term limit is passed?
Is that what you mean when you ask about ignoring more amendments?

Bingo!
I suspect that RINOs are trying to exploit low-information patriots, who probably haven't read Article V, by rattling the "Convention of States" saber as a dog-and-pony show.
Insights welcome.
Patriots really need to elect Constitution-respecting conservatives to Congress in November who will do some long-overdue impeaching.
Well, I am not advocating either. The COS is utilizing a Constitutional mechanism, previously unused, to propose amendments that completely bypass the federal govt, and empowers the states. Yes, some states are marxist leftist hellholes. I live in one. But, again short of submission/war, there ARE states that can get things right, and just the momentum and spirit of a COS can start shaking things up to limit the federal overreach. The beauty of a COS is that people (aka, marxists) are not the participants, but states are.
Exactly! Abide strictly by the constitutioin that we have and our country will thrive.
