South Carolina just became the 19th state to call for a COS. Six states have had it pass one house of their legislature. Its up for consideration in 21 states in 2022.It depends on what you put into it. I think using the opportunity to then set term limits on both houses would be a a great start. We need to make sure our politicians are not elected into office and than stay there for the rest of their lives. Make sure that if they do not keep their oath during their tenure that they are removed at once. We can use it to abolish certain departments the first would be for me anyway the Department of Education.
The sad part about this is that any state ran by the left will never vote for a convention of states. I believe there are already a number of states that will vote for a convention of states, and we only need a handful more.
Mark Levin's book The Liberty Amendments goes into detail on 11 Amendments which should be up for discussion. A good read.
1. Term Limits
2. Repeal the 17th Amendment and return the Senate to the States
3. Term limits for the Supreme Court
4. Limit federal spending
5. Limit taxation
6. Limit the federal bureaucracy
7. Limit Congress's power to regulate commerce
8. Protect private property
9. Give states authority to directly amend the Constitution
10. Give states authority to check Congress
11. Protect the vote
To these eleven I would add another :
12. An amendment to provide adequate representation for citizens by limiting the population size of congressional districts to 30,000 citizens per district.
