I think we need little words so that judges understand ...
2/3 then 3/4...simple.
I know mark levin is a big pusher of this. I listen to him; but i agree this is a bad idea. We already have a constitution that is Disregarded when inconvienant, so how would (best case) adding more ammendments to be disregarded benifit anyone?
The flyer itself reveals one of the false premises of the ArtV movement: ArtV only offers a way for the states to initiate the process to amend the Constitution. Thereafter, there's no guarantee that they'd have direct hands-on involvement. It's possible that they could, but only to the extent that Congress lets them.
This is a myth. When an Article V convention is called, the Federal government in its entirety is removed from the process. If 2/3 of the states call a convention and pass amendments they immediately go to the states for ratification. 3/4 of the states (38) are needed for ratification. Once ratified the amendments become the law of the land. Constitution amended. This method removes the federal government.
All amendments must be ratified by a 3/4 majority. The proposal process begins one of two ways:
1. House / Senate proposes and passes amendment with a 2/3 majority
2. Article V convention of States proposes and passes amendment with a 2/3 majority
The common theme is the state ratification process.
"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, [Congress] 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."
