Having a Constitutional Convention in this country today would spell the end of the USA. The welfare class is already larger than the providers and is growing far faster than the producers. There is no way that today’s liberal could limit themselves to amending only the birthright parts of the Constitution. We would end up with several or maybe even hundreds of changes that would abrogate the intent of Jefferson, Washington, Adams et al. You could kiss off the Electoral College, for instance, the only thing that makes the small states relevant. A few other changes like that and the USA would be ruled by New York City, Chicago, and LA.
Well would a simple Law clarify the original intent?
