[ I have given several presentations against the “Convention of States” proposal, I spent at least 40 hours doing research before giving those presentations. I found nothing good that could come out of a convention, ]
How about instead of a Convention of the States we have a “Meeting of the State legislatures to propose new amendments” and then we give those proposals to congress to vote on like how any other amendments is processed? So then Both houses of the Federal Legislature can than vote on them and have them pass with a 2/3 votes before needing 3/4 of the states to ratify just like all the other amendments that have ever been ratified?
So instead of one congressman proposing an amendment for the House and Senate to vote on, instead we get the states together and they hand it off to a congressman so congress can complete the process like any other normal amendments?
This past week, and with little notice, Scotus rewrote the Recess Appointments Clause of the Constitution. It was done without the hassle of Article V. Oh.
Every executive branch agency stands ready to serve the democrat party.
Given all this and certainly much more, we are supposed to fear a meeting of state delegates in accordance with the Constitution?
There is nothing to lose and everything to gain from an Article V convention to propose amendments.
Article V is the last hope of a dying republic.
I don’t really see how adding ammendments to the Constitution will cause people who violate the Constitution with impunity to all at once start abiding by it because of new ammendments.
