We just need a few more governors to ask for this at the same time, right? And there can't be too many of them opposed, right? And they all have to set the agenda first, right? Maybe Trump could offer up a neutral venue?

Never. The left will hijack it. Let’s get them to follow the one that we have now

The problems with his plan is that it doesn’t go far enough. It should have term limits for Representatives, repeal the 17th Amendment, make Supreme Court justices serve a single 10 year term, more narrowly define the “interstate commerce clause”, and allowing Congress to override a alphabet rule change or EO (not a repeal of an existing rule) with a simple majority vote that doesn’t have to be signed into law by the president. Also, all federal laws and agency rules are to expire after 10 years. If they are important, they can keep passing them.

Nobody does a search anymore. This is at least the third posting of this.

Leave the U.S. CONSTITUTION alone! Enforce what it says.

Governors who harbor a desire for the Presidency may not approve of Article V. Also it is hoped that most state legislators do not aspire to national office. Granted, that’s not a proven assumption.

A constitutional Convention is NOT just talking about new amendments. It’s extremely dangerous in the present political climate.

Why in the world would anyone think a Con Con is a good idea, if they’ve read Matthew Bracken’s books? Amendments, yes, Con Con no.

As Citizen Zed said, “Leave the U.S. CONSTITUTION alone! Enforce what it says.”
