Article V needs a rulebook.

We’re bringing everyday Americans together to write the rules for a constitutional convention — before anyone knows what it’s for.

U.S. Constitution, Article V

“… on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments …”

And that’s all it says.

Why

The states can call a convention. Two-thirds of them, together.
No one knows how it would run. Who are the delegates? How do they vote? What’s on the table?
So it’s never happened. Not once in 237 years.

Who writes the rules? Citizens.

A citizens’ assembly: a room full of randomly chosen Americans, given the time and the facts to decide.
