State legislations decide how to select their commissioners; they decide who, how many, how they will decide yea or nay and write proposed amendments they wish to offer for debate. The proposed amendments must be on one of these three topics: term limits, fiscal limits or restricting the scope and jurisdiction of federal regulation. Then the state legislations will issue commissions to those select to attend. The commissions will authorize them to act on the states behalf and limit their power to present only what the resolution authorizes. The commissions will also set limits on per diem.
The convention is held. The commissioners will propose, debate and vote on all of the amendments. A simple majority will allow the proposed amendment to pass out of the convention. One vote one state; doesn't matter how commissioners the state has; they get one vote - yea or nay.
The amendments that pass must then be ratified by 38 states in order to adopted.
COS simulation
This has been vetted by the best legal minds today.
So realistically, this might get done in 50-100 years. Maybe.
not even close, we will pass 20 states in the next few months; right now, the plan in place should get us to 34 in about 2 years. the COS project is gathering momentum rapidly. my state is getting 1.5 to 2k signatures every month. last September we got 4k. polls show 70% of citizens across the political spectrum (Dems, Repubs and Indies) are fed up and have had enough of this tyranny. our message is resonating, and we have been seeing a huge increase in donations. my state will be advertising on commercial radio soon, and I don't mean free 15 second PSA,- paid commercials.
Once you get to the ratification of whatever amendments are adopted, I think it would be very easy to stall it by dropping huge sums of money in key states. I think we'd have to deal with the systemic corruption before something like this is feasible.
