They destroyed the current one they swore to uphold. Why not make another one that fits their needs ?
Before I support an Article V I need to see them at least attempt to read the current one.
There are 8 applications on the record, using Georgia's language, for a Convention of the States to address a rebalancing of powers between the states and the federal government.
That's where it stands right now.
Bump!
Careful what you wish for.
At this time in this country, a constitutional convention will merely internalize all the “progressive” socialist/communist/globalist agenda that these recent pols have been advocating.
Potus & congress have been pushing the final reform for decades now.
They want one world rule & l feel b hussain obammy has his sites set on sec gen of un.
We have one chance this november to change this course.
Make it count by voting for TRUMP
Absolutely not advisable. Kind of like we need more gun control laws!
A really bad idea.
be careful what you wish, they are incapable of following current laws why would they follow any new ones
10 years too late.
Fortunately, some of the earliest unconstitutional laws, the ones that created a national bank for example, had time limits on them.
Also, the following excerpt where a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices clarified limits on Congress’s power to appropriate taxes needs to be amended to the Constitution.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Also, arguably one of the biggest flaws in the Constitution imo, giving the Senate the power to confirm justices, needs to be repealed imo, such power given uniquely to the state legislatures.
The 22nd Amendment also needs to be reconsidered because corrupt Congress lets likewise corrupt, last-term presidents get away with doing all kinds of unconstitutonal things.
Also, immigrants need to constitutionally required to acknowledge the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers and associated limited power to appropriate taxes before they can become citizens. In fact, all citizens need to acknowledge these limited powers before being allowed to vote.
Patriots can amend the Constitution to establish term limits for federal office if they want to. But if patriots used their voting muscle to “force” the corrupt feds to surrender 10th Amendment-protected state powers and state revenues that the corrupt feds have stolen from the states back to the states, then the states are probably going to have problems finding people to serve as federal lawmakers anyway imo.
Since the plurality of Congress’s constitutional powers deal with military and defense, electing retired military personnel who still want to serve the country as federal lawmakers and executives would be a good way to honor such people imo.
Also, since Congress cannot be trusted to do the job, state lawmakers need to give themselves the power to the same power to impeach and remove bad apples from the federal government that Congress now has. This should include state lawmakers in 3/4 of the states to remove federal lawmakers from other states.
Why shouldn't a State being able to rescind a ratification or an application? If a proposed amendment has yet to receive ratifications from three-fourths of the States, a State should be able to rescind its ratification thereof. Less than two-thirds of the States have applied for an Article V Convention, so rescission should be allowed.
As for silence on this matter, see the 10th Amendment.
I still don’t get this.
The current administration and globalists don’t respect or uphold the current constitution, so we are gong to add more to the constitution, then they will obey the law?
This is extremely ill advised.
It takes approval by 38 state legslatures or state-level conventions (3/4ths of the states) to actually amend the Constitution via Constitutional convention. Under current political realities the Democrats control both Houses of 11 states’ legislatures, the Republicans control 30 states and 8 states have partisan control that is split between the two parties. Nebraska has a unicameral, non-partisan legislature that leans conservative.
