Can't happen
Congress: A two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate is required
Constitutional convention: Two-thirds of state legislatures must call for a convention
Ratification
Three-fourths of state legislatures or conventions must ratify the amendment
Each state legislature must vote on the amendment in an up-or-down vote
State legislatures cannot change the language of the amendment
This bill is DOA, it's just (more) political theater
If anything it's an admission of the realization that Trump won't be able to accomplish much of anything in just 4 years at the pace government functions
lol, he's just gonna stay in the white house and no one's gonna stop him. No one needs to ratify shit. Democrats don't storm government buildings.
You fucking hopeful people, relying on adherence to laws and norms. Sick of seeing this shit. So sure that sane things will happen. You people are the reason he's in office in the first place.
Thank you. Anyone who still has faith in our government systems to stop this from happening has their head in the sand.
