At one point, there were a lot of states with red legislatures that had agreed to a Constitutional Convention for a balanced budget (I believe?) and some may have added term limits. Mark Levin was pushing the effort while we had so many red governors/legislatures after 2010. One problem was that all had different language and there was a concern that a Convention could be hijacked. But if the Republic ended after the 14th Amendment then we will need a Convention to address certain Amendments added after while under the Corporation.
When I heard him explain how the founders foresaw this need to go around Congress and enable the states on their own to call a Constitutional Convention, I was once again awed at the brilliance of those men. But in actuality, it was one man who really pushed for the ability of the states to be able to call a convention (I can't recall who ATM) - but he convinced others to add it. And thank God!
