Showing Original Post only (View all)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.
