The New American’s Christian Gomez sits down with author and contributor to The New American magazine Joe Wolverton to discuss his online article titled, “Convention of States: Misreading the Constitution or Misleading the People?” In this interview, Wolverton addresses and corrects common falsehoods and claims about Article V that Convention of States (COS) Action makes in order to sell people and lawmakers alike on the need for a convention. Wolverton reads the actual text of Article V and thoroughly explains what it says vs what COS says about calling a convention.
