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.
