there are zero votes cast to change the USA constitution.
the Constitution provides ways to amend it, .....
an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures....
neither has been done so far as I am aware, so Colorado can jump up and down 500 times but the USA constitution will not have been amended
correct me if I am wrong, thanks!
This has been done 27 times.
‘there are zero votes cast to change the USA constitution.’
when I speak of votes, I refer to the sum total of the electoral votes of the states who pass this compact (must pass both chambers in bicameral legislatures, which is everyone except NE, though I’m not certain)...should that sum total equal or surpass 270 EV’s, the resolution stipulates that the popular vote totals require the state electors to vote for the candidate with the most votes...and constitutionally, the individual states are granted the right to vote for president by the use of electors, whom the state can employ however it chooses to do so; this compact would adhere to this, as the role of the electors is not changing, and thus no amendment need be made...
there are 89 EV’s needed to reach the 270 threshold to enact this compact; I can see 25 out there for the taking, leaving 64 more, but the rest will be tough...I don’t see it happening, for what it’s worth...
