Isn't that interesting? After all, the limitation on powers is exactly what could drive such a convention. Yet, here is an attempt to limit the powers of a governing body. A bit of inconsistency there, I'd say:
What constitutes a legitimate state application? Does Congress have discretion as to whether it must call a convention? What vehicle does it use to call a convention? Could a convention consider any issue, or must it be limited to a specific issue? Could a “runaway” convention propose amendments outside its mandate? Could Congress choose not to propose a convention-approved amendment to the states? What role would Congress have in defining a convention, including issues such as rules of procedure and voting, number and apportionment of delegates, funding and duration, service by Members of Congress, and other questions.---Wapo
