Either could be hijacked by lefties.

It's called A Convention of States TO PROPOSE AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION.

Amendments to the Constitution are very difficult to pass.

The advantage of the Convention of States is that The People can propose amendments that Congress won't propose, like TERM LIMITS.

Term limits, like campaign finance 'reform', stifles free speech, once again proving Conservatives LOVE big gubmint, so long as it's THEIR big gubmint.

We already have term limits - it's called election day. Just because you don't get your way doesn't mean you can stomp and snort and try to change the rules. Well, that is, so long as you're not a dummycrat.

“It’s called A Convention of States TO PROPOSE AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION.”

Exactly! Are you saying that it could not be hijacked by lefties and/or RINOs?

And, yes, I am well aware that it is difficult to almost impossible to get a proposed amendment passed.
