trump or alike get elected. watch convention under article V [View all]



I'm not giving out history lessons but notice the dates of the 15 stated that have passed the convention of states application and then notice the states where it passed in one chamber

This is why elections are important. Most of these states that passed convention during Trump's time. we need 2/3 of the states and if I understand things correctly, states will govern themselves and impose term limits on the federal government.
I don't know if this means we can go back to slavery, for example but everyone needs to get out and vote.

States that have passed the Convention of States application (15):

Georgia March 6, 2014

Alaska April 19, 2014

Florida April 21, 2014

Alabama May 22, 2015

Tennessee February 4, 2016

Indiana February 29, 2016

Oklahoma April 25, 2016

Louisiana May 25, 2016

Arizona March 12, 2017

North Dakota March 24, 2017

Texas May 4, 2017

Missouri May 12, 2017

Arkansas February 14, 2019

Utah March 5, 2019

Mississippi March 27, 2019


States where the Convention of States application has passed in one chamber but not the other (all time):

New Mexico, Iowa, South Dakota, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Wisconsin, New Hampshire

States considering the Convention of States resolution in 2022:

Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin
