Article V of the U.S. says, there are Two Methods to propose Amendments to the Constitution.
1. Congress can propose Amendments to the Constitution at any time if 2/3 of both Houses of Congress agree.
2. A Convention of States can Propose Amendments if 2/3, currently 34, of States submit Applications for such a Convention. These Applications must all deal with the same Issue, like Limiting the Power and Jurisdiction of the Federal Government.
The Founders knew the Federal Government might one day become Drunk with the Abuses of Power. The most important Check to this Power is Article V. Article V gives States the Power to Call a Convention for the purpose of Proposing Amendments to the Constitution.
By Calling a Convention of the States, you could stop the Federal Spending and Debt Spree, the Power grabs of the Federal Courts, and other Misuses of Federal Power.
The current situation is precisely what the Founders feared, and they gave us a Solution we have a Duty to use.
To become part of the Constitution, an Amendment must be Ratified by either, as determined by Congress, the Legislatures of 3/4, currently 38, of the States or State Ratifying Conventions in 3/4 of the States
After the States Propose, Debate, and Vote upon the Proposed Amendments, they will be sent to the 50 States for Ratification. Then 3/4 of the States must agree for any of the Proposed Amendments to be Ratified.
Congress has No Authority to Stop such a Process.
