My understanding is Congress has no role, no discretion in determining "credibility." If 34 States apply using uniform language re: "States Rights and Control of States Rights," Congress MUST "call" a Convention of the States for Proposing Amendments.

Part of the discussion on this thread is whether a single subject convention is required or desirable. My point is that "States Rights and Control of States Rights" is so broad a topic that Congress would, or should, never consider it a single subject.

If we decide that a single subject isn't important or enforceable by Congress, then why have a subject at all?

Who is asking Congress to judge importance of subject matter or to consider enforcing subject matter?
