California has just called for an Articale V Convention

[Chan790]

65. Yes, sorta. I wrote a paper on this in college for a Political Theory class.

CA's specific purpose was likely void upon ratification. It doesn't matter if they pass it for campaign-finance reform, KY ratifies one tomorrow for your right to marry your horse ( ), on Friday NY calls for one to declare the 32 hour work-week a Constitutional right, and in 1972 MD called for one to ratify the ERA. They all count solely as Art. V. calls for Convention. Most ratifications are term-limited in the text. (e.g. "The State of Connecticut calls for a US Constitutional Convention under Article V to be convened no later than Jan. 12, 2022 or this call shall be void.&quot

The only way out of it is for the CA legislature to reverse themselves ASAP...and that may not pass muster with SCOTUS. There is a power to convene convention...there is none to revoke that consent, just as rescission of State Approval of Constitutional Amendments may not pass muster if challenged. (An issue that subsequent ratifications of the ERA may bring to SCOTUS.)

The ability to time-limit is understood to be valid (but itself not based in the text and may not pass muster with SCOTUS if challenged)...otherwise they'd just hang out there for decades until there was a majority calling for a convention, the initial reasons for being long-settled governance and/or law.
