Amendments and Revisions

Question 1

Constituent Assembly

Answer 1

Congress’ choice to act as such

is a POLITICAL QUESTION.

3/4 vote of ALL ITS MEMBERS

Question 2

Constitutional Convention

Answer 2

If Congress calls for Constitutional Convention by itself or asks the people whether there should be such convention, Congress knows best. No one can question it in a court of law. It’s a POLITICAL QUESTION.

But if it does call a constitutional convention

There must be 2/3 vote by all members of Congress to call one.

There must be a majority vote of all of Congress to ask the people to call one.

And if a constitutional convention is indeed called, it is NOT ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CONSTITUTION. It must follo the present Cosntitution still.
