How about a Constitutional Convention?

There’s a whole lot of things they can fix. It takes 34 states to convene and 38 to ratify if I am not mistaken.

I'd be terrified to let anyone from this generation anywhere near a Constitutional Convention.

VERY bad idea.

A Constitutional Convention opens a Pandora's Box you do NOT want to be anywhere near.

Such a gathering could (and chances are WOULD) set the stage for a wholesale vacating of our founding document.

No eff’n way...

I don’t trust the people..

We’d end up the USSA in no time.

For such a convention; you’d damn well better have a narrowly defined agenda. Otherwise we might end up with a several thousand page monstrosity much like the EU, or Obamacare.

Be careful what you wish for; You might find “happy” marriage enshrined in the document.
