The proposed amendment designated to be ratified by state ratifying conventions, at least voters could vote for convention delegates.

Does the proposed Amendment actually require state ratifying conventions? Because that has only been done once. The overwhelming majority of the amendments have gone through the state legislatures.


And either way, the implication that because voters keep reelecting incumbents, they wouldn't vote for term limits is erroneous.

Good question. I assume they designated the legislature route since it would be faster.

Agree about voters voting for term limits. It wouldn't even be close.
