    While I know the constitution allows for it, I don’t think that has ever actually been invoked.

    And right now, with more red states than blue, the last thing we want is a constitutional convention.

      You’re being downvoted but you’re right. Right wing groups have been calling for a constitutional convention for years because they know they’d have outsized influence on it.

      A constitutional convention isn’t “let’s tackle this narrow issue,” it puts everything on the table. It’d be a disaster with the current makeup of the states.
