But are those the kinds of amendments the state legislatures are presenting for the Article V?
Levin read about one he/his group proposed. It was something about banking/financial concerns. It did not seem to address the ‘real’ problems we have with DC.
If/when those pushing for an Article V publish a list of their ‘demands’, the interest may turn. Until then, it seems each state can propose whatever they want.
“But are those the kinds of amendments the state legislatures are presenting for the Article V?”
Other than the Balanced Budget Amendment, very few states are being specific (Maryland and New Jersey have been).
The states must submit identical (or near identical) petitions to the Congress to call for a convention. So the states must all be on the same page. Other than the Balanced Budget amendment petition, four states so far have passed identical petitions (though nine legislative houses have passed the same petition, and it’s pending in some 20+ others).
