But lets make sure they're all billionaires. Better class of voters !
No...just people with 'skin' in the game. It really doesn't take much.
I am talking about citizenship, and voting rights. Now you may be able to tacitly tie those to economic factors but they are not economic in nature.
I see you flunked civics too! It was deleted by the 14th Amendment.
I oppose a convention of states, because it would be a complete waste of time as long as libtards are represented.
Please comment on my Post-67
You need to start where most support you.The U.S. Constitution can be amended two ways, either by 2/3 votes in the House and Senate, or by a Convention of States where 3/4 of the States must ratify new amendments for the new amendment to pass. So if in 2022 or 2024 the GOP can get 38 state legislatures they can amend the US Constitution. Not an impossible task.
The US president has no say in either of the amendment processes.
The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention. The Congress proposes an amendment in the form of a joint resolution. Since the President does not have a constitutional role in the amendment process, the joint resolution does not go to the White House for signature or approval. The original document is forwarded directly to NARA's Office of the Federal Register (OFR) for processing and publication. The OFR adds legislative history notes to the joint resolution and publishes it in slip law format. The OFR also assembles an information package for the States which includes formal "red-line" copies of the joint resolution, copies of the joint resolution in slip law format, and the statutory procedure for ratification under 1 U.S.C. 106b.
Constitutional Amendment Process
The authority to amend the Constitution of the United States is derived from Article V of the Constitution. After Congress proposes an amendment, the Archivist of the United States, who heads the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), is charged with responsibility for...www.archives.gov
A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States). When the OFR verifies that it has received the required number of authenticated ratification documents, it drafts a formal proclamation for the Archivist to certify that the amendment is valid and has become part of the Constitution. This certification is published in the Federal Register and U.S. Statutes at Large and serves as official notice to the Congress and to the Nation that the amendment process has been completed.
So what new amendments would you support? I'll start the ball rolling with a few in a poll.

You need to keep in simple and only pursue these two. Get the ball rolling and maybe more can be done later.
If they become amendments they cannot be unconstitutional.
They can if they conflict with other parts of the Constitution left standing.
Don't see how. Once it becomes an amendment it is part of the Constitution. By definition it could not be unconstitutional. Any conflicts would have to be reconciled by separate amendments.
