Kansas Lawmakers Push Article V Convention

A group of Kansas lawmakers are pushing for the state to join 33 others in calling for an Article V convention to amend the U.S. Constitution.

Legislation calling for the convention has passed out of the state House Federal and State Affairs Committee and is pending before the full House. The bill is part of a growing national movement for a state called convention, which would be a first in American history. Article V of the U.S. Constitution gives two-thirds of the states the ability to call for such a convention, with any amendments being subject to ratification by three-quarters of the states. The Article V convention movement has grown in recent years, receiving bipartisan support among state legislators, who argue that states need to place a check on the federal government, while opponents express fear of a “runaway convention” that could completely overhaul the constitution.

“I believe that most people don’t know about. When I was coming up through school Article V was something we looked at but it was skipped over,” Rep. Kevin Jones (R-Wellsville) told The Celock Report. “I didn’t know that Article V was an opportunity until it was talked about. Every state, anybody who believes in state sovereignty or believes strongly in their own state, should see it as a viable option or having a say at a national level. We are the United States and each state should have a voice. When the federal government has so much power much to depriving state’s of sovereignty.”

“....All federal documents held in trust as evidence of law by an Archivist appointed by an ineligible President are voided. ...”

So this means -all- the laws of the u.s. are null and void...

Think of the implications....

Americans now are free from an overbearing government...

Government —now— has:

No IRS authority to tax and harass

No homeland security authority to conduct warrantless searches

No coercion authority to force people to buy health insurance

Am I correct in my analysis of Sven’s post?

The left doesn't need a convention. All they need is one more liberal on the Supreme Court. This may be our last hope to save the Republic - how much of a risk is that worth? It seems to me that the greatest risk is that nothing comes of it at all.

Except that the Supreme Court would have to rule him ineligible and they ain't gonna do that.

The federal courts, members of Congress and all US federal officers are servants of the people and the states of the United States who have delegated some of their privileges and immunities and rights bestowed upon the people and the states by God. The Eligibility Clause cannot be used to prevent the people and the states from electing anyone they choose to be their leader. The Eligibility Clause describes a person who is authorized to continue executing the governing document entitled the US Constitution. The US Constitution cannot be used by the US federal government to prevent the American people and the states from firing them from incompetence or willful neglect of the US Constitution to establish a more perfect union.

Electing an ineligible President voids the US Constitution, all federal laws, rules and regulations, all federal debt and other obligations, all purchase contracts, all grants, and all treaties entered into on behalf of the United States by the US federal government.

Washington elitist and their supporters are quietly putting together a scheme to amend the voided Constitution through Article V in a feeble attempt to save their power, jobs and reputations. Ironically, Article VI demands all federal judges, US federal officers, members of Congress and members of the state legislatures support the US Constitution.

The Articles of Confederation established the first governmental structure unifying the thirteen states that had fought in the American Revolution. They went into effect on March 1, 1781 and lasted until March 4, 1789 when they were replaced by the US Constitution.

The Eligibility Clause of the US Constitution is not used to prevent the majority from electing a person they feel who is most qualified for the job. The Eligibility Clause is used by the voting American majority to void the US Constitution, fire Congress, fire the Sumpreme Court and all judicial officers of the lower courts and fire executive level federal officers who have failed the American people.

It’s time for a new constitutional convention to establish a governing document for the nation.
