virginia and south carolina have introduced legislation to have a convention of states!!!!!
ok for those who don't know their US constitution this means that the state legislatures are going to try to impose new rules on the federal government. basically if 3/5 of the state agree on an amendment to the constitution they can get it through without going through washington. the 2 primary items being suggested, term limits for senate and perhaps stricter limits for house, and also balanced budget amendment!!
so glad the founders wrote in every possible way they could think of to limit power for those who may try to abuse it. a COS is a big deal. and will be opposed by the federal government in the worst ways. and frankly a balanced budget amendment would spiral our economy out of dream land and into reality but in the long run would have some chance of saving us from financial disaster. idk if this is in Gods plan for our nation, but its very exciting to see good men standing up to try and right the ship.
