[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4931351, member: 18222"] I get your gist but in order to change the provisions in the 14th Amendment, one of the following processes must occur. Amending the Constitution is a complicated process. The Constitution's [B]Article V[/B] lays out the process by which the Constitution may be amended. There are actually four different ways, but only one is widely used: [LIST] [*]Proposal by convention of the states, with ratification by state conventions. This method has never been used. [*]Proposal by convention of the states, with ratification by state legislatures. This method has also never been used. [*]Proposal by Congress, with ratification by state conventions. This method has been used one time. [*]Proposal by Congress, with ratification by the state legislatures. This method was used for all current amendments except one. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
