In some states, the constitution can be changed by popular vote. Texas and Oklahoma are notable for having to make every little adjustment by constitutional amendment; it's pretty messy, actually!

However, the state legislatures (bigger than your city council, but smaller than parliament :-), have to vote on amendments to the national constitution. And unfortunately, in terms of the "born citizen" issue, a state can't vote to reject the children of foreigners as citizens, because the national law overrides.

In some states, the constitution can be changed by popular vote.

In some of those states, the question of reconstructing the constitution comes up on the ballot every 20 years or so in a simple question such as: Should the state of X revise the current constitution?

Once upon a time, Louisiana had the record, but they had a constitutional convetion and started over.
