No amendment may be added to the Constitution to change the principle of equal representation in the Senate unless every state deprived of that right approves.

Seems this one is pointless unless we undo the 17th. We currently have two houses of Representatives, with no one to represent the States.

A Convention of the States is just that....Of the States.

Congress and the president is left out of the loop. This all occurs at the convention and then in the State legislatures..The federal govt is not consulted.

The Senate has no input in a COS event..

Representation is voluntary but it take 2/3 s of the States to have a Convention.

yes.....it would be a hoot...
