No, the States are not calling for a Constitutional Convention. Read Article V for clarification and comprehension. What do you think it’s called when Congress calls for an Amendment? It’s no different when the States call for it and it’s their right. The founders intended to give the people recourse and Article V gives that power to the people. Read the other sites I posted instead of giving the knee-jerk response.
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
I don’t know what you’re not understanding. The states or their legislaturs cannot propose amendments. Two thirds of the states can call a convention, which can propose amendments.
I am quite familiar with this. Many states over the past several years have revoked their con-con applications.
