A convention of states is a convention called by the state legislatures for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution. They are given power to do this under Article V of the Constitution. It is not a constitutional convention. It cannot throw out the Constitution because its authority is derived from the Constitution.

I have a feeling that Sen. Cruz, a long time constitutional scholar, was on the phone to his governor saying, “Dammit, Greg, use the correct nomenclature!”
