Already working on it. The Convention of States, which has accrued 19 state legislatures so far, and another one coming up this month, proposes Constitutional Amendments for term limits and for Federal zero-based budgeting, with balanced budgets every year. Need 14 more states to sign on for this to get rid of the swamp creatures for life, and for responsible budgeting.

Congress will never pass term limits on themselves, so it is up to State Legislatures to impose limits on them.

>What makes you think that this COS will not be chock full of anarchists that want to scrap the Constitution altogether and get the nullification amendment passed by 38 states?

 

How in tarnation would 38 State Legislators agree to pass, by a majority in each of their Houses, an Amendment to "scrap the Constitution?"

You make no sense at all.

You misunderstand how the Convention of States works.

Congress has no part in the Convention, it's enabled by Article V to allow the State Legislatures to amend the Constitution without governors or Congress critters being involved at all in the process.

They first agree to specific amendments, then each State Legislature passes a resolution (without a governor's signature) to participate in the Convention. When 2/3 of the State Legislatures agree (34 States), then a Convention occurs. It is not a physical convention, no one gets together in some convention center to argue it out, it's simply a term used to descreibe their agreement, in exact, identical language in every State's Resolution, Then once they all agree, 3/4 of the States have to ratify it to become an Amendment.

If Bernie advocates free food for all, and proposes an amendment for that, then he would have to persuade a majority of each State's Houses of 38 States to pass it. Not going to happen.
