The Constitution of the United States
* * * * * * * * * *

Article V

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

Bring it. The ultimate "swamp drainer". Send all of the bureaucrats packing. It's our Government, and we don't need them anymore so we're giving them their pink slips.

Fear-mongering over the big, bad Federal government is what brought this on

No it didn't. 20 Trillion in debt did.

You think Congress is going to impose the term limits upon themselves?

Nope. But we can.

given the current climate I'm leery of putting the future of the Constitution in the hands of people who haven't read much of it,

I'd say the same thing about the Legislators who don't even bother to read the Bills they pass.

If they'd 1st read the Constitution maybe some that sh*t they force on us and exempt themselves from wouldn't even see the light of day because most of it is wholly unconstitutional.

VICTORIES in Texas, Missouri, and Iowa this week !

The Iowa Senate State Government Committee voted 12-3 in favor of the Convention of States resolution with strong support from both parties.

A few hours later, the Texas Senate voted 20 - 11 in favor of the same application with unanimous support among Republicans.
