Did Michigan just trigger 'constitutional convention'? Bid gains steam | Fox News

I thought Michigan had become the 34th state to call for a convention, pushing the number of states to the 3/4 majority necessary.

Tennessee Becomes 5th State to Pass Resolution Calling For Article V Convention

This article is about Tennessee becoming the 5th state to pass a resolution, specifically calling for a convention on limiting the federal govt.

Is that the main difference? That it specifies what the Amendments would be focused on?

Actually, I believe it is 2/3 majority, not 3/4.

But it is late and I'm having a problem understanding how Tn is #5 when it just passed their legislature in Feb. 2016 and Michigan is the 34th earlier than that. Can someone help me out?

There's a time limit on these things, and a question on rescinded votes.
12 states pulled out decades ago, putting Michigan at 23rd.
