'''Convention of the States''' (COS) is a variation on the discredited idea of a [[Con Con]], by attempting to change the [[U.S. Constitution]] by holding a convention of delegates.  The Convention of the States is a gimmick which in the best case is merely a waste of time, but in the worst case could enable [[liberals]] to rewrite the Constitution.

After years of effort, the Convention of States had passed in only six states as of April 20, 2016:  Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, and Tennessee.  Even then, some of their resolutions differed from each other, casting doubt on whether they can be counted together.  A total of 34 states are needed under the [[U.S. Constitution]] before [[Congress]] could call a new [[constitutional convention]].
