I also draw your attention to the 14th Amendment discussion contained within the video.

Balanced budget amendment? Term limits?

I'm wrong. Teach me to rely on my memory.
That part of the discussion actually revolves around the 17th Amendment, which is the election of Senators by popular vote. As much of a Convention of States would deal with limiting the power and overreach of the Feds, the guys also discussed the 17th, and whether the appointing of Senators actually brought more power to the state legislatures and henceforth the state itself.

Yeah, I kind of like that idea too.

State legislatures used to choose senators but now they effectively choose representatives through gerrymandering. It’s a rather odd switch.
