To amend the Constitution, a proposal must gain the support of two-thirds of the House and Senate, and three-fourths of the states. As a result, of the thousands of proposed amendments, only 27 have passed. Amendments must be proposed either by a two-thirds vote in Congress, or by a Constitutional Convention. Such a convention can only be held if two-thirds of the states' legislatures support it.

I don't want liberals anywhere near a constitutional convention. They're trying to destroy the consitition via activist judges. I can only imagine the horrors of a convention. Jim
