[Repeal The 17th]

"... isn’t this dangerous...like opening Pandora’s box? ..."
"... How can we be sure that other important things can’t be changed ..."

"... the ones calling for this want to see the right to free speech,
right to bear arms, to be either watered down or taken away ..."
-
The resolutions call for an Article V Convention of the States
for the sole purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution which:
-Impose fiscal restraints on the Federal Government;
-Limit the power and jurisdiction of the Federal Government; and
-Limit the terms of office for federal officials and members of Congress.
-
An Article V Convention of States cannot amend the Constitution.
An Article V Convention of States is simply a formal gathering of delegates
from at least 34 states to discuss, debate, and "propose amendments" to the Constitution.

Any proposal not within the stated purpose of the Convention of States
(fiscal restraints; limits on power and jurisdiction; limits on terms of office)
would be unauthorized, rejected, and not approved by the Convention of States.

An Article V Convention of States cannot amend the Constitution.
Any proposal that emerged as a "proposed amendment" by the Convention of States
would still require ratification by 38 states, the same as with any other proposed amendment.
