I have never heard this!!!! This is treasonous, from Congress AND those representatives of the petitioning states who have ignored it. What can be done to MAKE THEM do this? Surely there is something in that particular article that would address how to handle it, if it is ignored.
article V PING
They can always schedule a one-day convention in Nome, Alaska for Dec. 25...
The number of applications has never reached the required threshold of 2/3’s of states.
So this article is much ado about nothing except that it informs a little about the Article V process.
I am completely convinced that this is the only hope of avoiding a hot revolution in the future. The Republicans have proven yet again that they are unwilling to stop the growth of government. Crony capitalism versus crony socialism is NO choice.
It is an uphill battle with all the LIV’s. Hell they barely know who is VP or can barely name 3 out of 9 of the Supreme Court Justices. Articles and Amendments are just too much for their empty heads.
I suspect that the issue is that they have never received petitions from 2/3 of the states during the same Congress. I don’t imagine the petitions can carry over from one Congress to the next, since too many things can change over the years. You may have the state legislatures change parties in the election, and the new legislature may not support the petition passed by the previous legislature, etc.
Now if anyone can show that 34 states submitted petitions in the same 2-year period in which the same Congress was sitting, and those petitions were ignored, then I will stand corrected.
