Kavanaugh hearing

[Jess from VA]

There are actually four ways (to amend the constitution).

(1) Both houses propose an amendment with a two-thirds vote, and three-fourths of the state legislatures approve. Twenty-six of the 27 amendments were approved in this manner.

(2) Both houses propose an amendment with a two-thirds vote, and three-fourths of the states approve the amendment via ratifying conventions. Only the 21st Amendment, which repealed Prohibition, was passed in this manner.

(3) Two-thirds of the state legislatures call on Congress to hold a constitutional convention, and three-fourths of the state legislatures approve the amendment.

(4) Two-thirds of the state legislatures call on Congress to hold a constitutional convention, and three-fourths of the states approve the amendment via ratifying conventions.

Most people only think of the first two because they are the only ones that ever worked.

I think the days of getting two thirds of both houses and three quarters of the States to agree on something are long gone.

Our Constitution is pretty good just as it is.  (So long as we continue to have a Supreme Court that doesn't make sh!t up.)

Sounds like a good reason to, Thank God for President Trump!

I did not.  Surely you would have remembered such a unique event.

It wasn't the content of the thread I intended to resurrect.  But, with the way things are going, I may need that free lunch.

True, but the lunch will be free to me... it'll cost Willow.

[Wizzard]

I was always told there is no free lunch

There is, but you got to be really sneaky about it.
