Is it time for a new constitutional convention?
As you know (hopefully), Article V of the US constitution states:
"The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
So we need 34 states to call for one or 2/3 of both the house and senate.
Imagine how much could be accomplished that could address 70% of the things Robtard and Surtur bicker over.
Gun control, healthcare, immigration, etc
Why haven't we called for one in recent years? Do you think we should? How can it be dome? Will it resolve many of our current political issues? Discuss
