From Latin oligarchia (“oligarchy”), from Ancient Greek ὀλιγαρχία (oligarkhía, “rule of the few”),

It all boils down to the same, conservative preference for the rule of the few over the rule of the many.

You are either completely misinformed or far too politically biased, probably both, to understand a word I just posted.

An Article V convention of states has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with removing anyone from office.
And to deflect this discussion toward another attack on "trump troops" is the epitome of leftist ignorance.
You people have one track minds and the tracks lead nowhere.

OK Blade, tell me, what is the convention of states about and what is it trying to do?? BTW, who is backing it other then trump troops...

That is no problem, neither one can read.

Good grief, man, are you daft? In my previous post, I made it perfectly clear the purpose of an Article V convention of states.

The purpose under current consideration in calling for a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, is restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials (judges and justices) and members of Congress. The big one is the repeal of the 17th amendment which, if ratified, would restore the US Senate.

FYI: An Article V Convention of States is a constitutional process and a constitutional process aimed at benefiting ALL American citizens should be welcomed by everyone who identifies as an American citizen. Political parties be damned.

Where do you get your booze? It seems to be rather powerful! Did I read something from Abe Lincoln about a government of, by and for the people? Did I swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States? Yes! Am I a conservative? You bet I am! One thing I have to give the Left: they seem to have the most zillionaires with crackpot ideas. Yes, oligarchs in waiting.

Yes, I got those facts I know what an article V does or can do.... my question was meant to ask. what specific changes do these people want?.. Why are they doing this?

Speak plainly, do not hold back..

Perm, lad, you are grievously vexed with a superabundance of Leftist Bovine Scat. Neither Putin, Xi or Kim benefitted from Trump's presidency. CNN & the DNC claimed they did. They lied. Trump extended the hand of peace in one hand yet carried a heavy club in the other. That's called smart diplomacy, ala Teddy Roosevelt. The sycophantic world joined by American Leftists couldn't stand an American President who told them to piss off. Yet they rolled over & began paying their fair share for NATO defense.
When Xi visited Trump at his Florida compound Trump excused himself from dinner & returned shortly thereafter announcing he'd just sent a couple dozen missiles into Syria then asked how the Crème Brûlée was. It got Xi's attention.The despots of the world did not trust Trump's response if they prodded him. He smiled & was friendly yet told Kim his "button" (nuclear button) was bigger than Kim's. Kim got the message loud & clear. Perm,
you've been fed & digested so much crap about Trump that was never true so that now you are completely unable to separate Truth from fiction & lies. You're pixilated. 😡

Finally, regarding the 2020 election. I'm also one of those who believes it was fraudulent. The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. Regarding the forensic investigations, we make haste slowly. Keep the faith lad, keep the faith. 👍

OMG... so everything is a lie unless it comes from trump mouth.. how can you be so misinformed??? Is nothing impossible these days.. I find it very difficult that a person as intelligent as you would express that opinion..

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Are you having difficulty reading a simple paragraph?
How many times will I have to repeat myself before you get the message?

permafrost Loc: Minnesota

You have no message.. you keep repeating what an article V can do, but not a thing about the goal for this particular effort.. Or perhaps no one knows?

You want speculation about a forthcoming event. Well, I am your man. I speculate just as well as anyone. Let me see if I can give you some answers: Addition from what Blade stated. I am pointing oiut subjects, not proposing specific language.
Bls

Focus on Amendment 2: firm up the language to ensure guns will be safe and their makers too.
Focus on the sovereignty of the US: Maintain and finish the fence and put razor wire on the top, and it has to be indirect for the Amendment verbiage, such as, ensure that our borders are safe from illegal entry.
Focus on the immigration problem: Ensure that we shut down the border from illegal entry, establish a complete immigration plan for the nation, and send home all the illegals BP can find.
Focus on the grave threats we have: end the woke nonsense for the military, ensure we have the military strength to fight both in Europe and in Asia, two big wars at once, just as we had earlier.
focus on every violation of the Constitution by Obama and Biden and put in what will stop their idiocy.
Focus on every Amendment to ensure they reflect the proper freedoms and liberties the nation requires.
Focus on the sovereignty of the US to ensure thst there will never be an America subservient under a global government.
Consider how to counter the threat from Islam and Islamic Jihad, as well as Communism. The Islamic threat is very real, and we are trapped by our freedom of religion to the point where they can operate with impunity.
End the ideas of PC and wokeness in the government.

There is more but it is late for speculation. Putting some of this into Amendment language will test the wordsmanship of the group! However, I do believe the scope will be quite narrow when the convention begins.
