A convention of states is a convention called by the state legislatures for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution. They are given power to do this under Article V of the Constitution. It is not a constitutional convention. It cannot throw out the Constitution because its authority is derived from the Constitution.

It cannot throw out the Constitution because its authority is derived from the Constitution. Which is, of course, why we continue to operate under the Articles of Confederation to this very day!

I have a feeling that Sen. Cruz, a long time constitutional scholar, was on the phone to his governor saying, “Dammit, Greg, use the correct nomenclature!”
