During the course of the calendar year of each one-hundred
year anniversary of the original ratification of this Constitution, a
Constitutional Convention shall be convened.
Members of the Constitutional Convention shall consist of the senior
sitting Senators of each State, the Supreme Court Justices, and the Vice
President of the United States who will act as Chairperson of the
Convention. No other person shall be privy to or present at the Convention. The Constitutional
Convention shall propose any amendments approved by two-thirds of Convention
members for ratification by a normal ratification process. During the course of the Convention, all members will be sequestered and have no outside contact with any person, entity, or external information source. Votes taken at the Convention shall only be subsequently reported as passing or failing without identifying individual votes.
Given today’s concern about the efficacy of the US government, one can’t help but wonder what the founding fathers might have done differently had they been magically (or technologically) transported forward in time to today.

good one!!!
ReplyDeletethe reason i say this this enforces them to reconvene the constitution as the framers did.... before deciding which law is and also decide to make new amendments of the constitution as the framers have done. as long as it doesnt violate Bill of Rights of the people of the United States that also applies to the government too..
