Since 99% of Federal Law hangs its hat on the Commerce Clause, what would be good wording for an amendment to it?
It’s Pandora’s box ... :-) ...
The regime and their supporters don’t care about the one we have now. That’s the problem.
From wiki.
A Convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution, also called an Article V Convention, or Amendments Convention, is one of two alternative procedures for proposing amendments to the United States Constitution described in Article Five of the Constitution. The other method is a vote by two-thirds of each house of Congress.
In recent years some constitutional scholars have argued that state governments should call for such a convention.[1][2] They include Lawrence Lessig, Sanford Levinson, Larry Sabato, Jonathan Turley, and Mark Levin.[1][3][4] As of 2014, there is an active nationwide effort to call an Article V Convention. Citizens for Self-Governance, through a project called Convention of the States, is promoting Article V legislation in all 50 states. In March 2014, Georgia became the first state to pass the group’s Convention of States application.[5] Alaska and Alabama are close to passing similar legislation.[6][7][8][9]
According to Article V, Congress must call for an amendment-proposing convention, “on the application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States,” meaning 34 state legislatures would have to submit applications. Once an Article V Convention has proposed an amendment or amendments, then the amendment or amendments would have to be ratified by three-fourths of the states (38 states) in order to become part of the Constitution.
Not a good idea. Look around you and then in a mirror. I did that and couldn’t find anyone trustworthy.
What is being discussed is known as I think that the term "constitutional convention"
is both misleading and incorrect.
a "Convention of states" under Article V.
Seem to be lots of Article V COS items in the news of late.
Not sure yet if it is a blip or a trend.
Encouraging to me, though.
More and more people are being exposed to, and learning about the process.
When is the Indianapolis meeting, is it in June?
Maybe that will get some media coverage...
I want an amendment that allows states to impeach any elected official who does not honor the Constitution or refuses to enforce the law.
Give me liberty bump!
It does not say “ASK congress to call” it says “cangress shall call”
Not a request, but instructions to do it.
CALL BOEHNER AND INSIST THAT BOZO FINALLY DO SOMETHING

Oops, forgot. Girbilism is a profession for people who didn't pay attention back in school, can't possibly catch up in math or science, but want to mint out a degree in college without spending more than the six or seven years people of their intellectual strata require to get a BA.
For girbilists, all of the constitution is little known.
It isn't their fault. It takes up more than a couple pages. How could anyone expect them to know?
