Ep. 267 | Constitutional Chats Podcast | Gary Porter | What's a Convention of States? (And Can It Really Happen?)

Any amendment to the U.S. Constitution has two paths to be proposed to the states for ratification. One is the well-known path: a 2/3 vote in both houses of Congress. Article V of the Constitution also dictates how potential amendments can be proposed to the states for ratification by a Convention of States.  Could a Convention of States actually happen? This week's guest says it can and will! To walk us through this process, we are pleased to welcome Gary Porter, Executive Director of the Constitution Leadership Initiative.  Gary recently led the Virginia Delegation in a 2023 Convention of States Simulation held in Williamsburg.
