Sure would. And that's precisely what she's trying to do. Ridiculous stunt on her part as it has absolutely zero chance of happening.

A constitutional convention is not required in order to introduce a constitutional amendment. It is ONE of the methods by which an amendment may be introduced, but amendments can also be proposed by a 2/3 majority of both houses of congress.

In any event, adoption of a constitutional amendment requires either 1) ratification by 3/4 of the state legislatures, or 2) ratification by conventions in 3/4 of the states “...as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by Congress”.
