Convention of States Action President Mark Meckler appeared on Bill O'Reilly's show, "The First," recently to explain how Article V works and how the Convention of States movement is going.
O'Reilly asked Mark to appear on his show because he's been getting so much mail about the Convention of States process. The Convention of States grassroots army is active, and they want to see O'Reilly highlight the movement on his show.
Mark cleared up some misconceptions about how Article V works, and told O'Reilly his top three wish-list constitutional amendment areas.
As Mark explained, the Convention of States Resolution covers three topics:
- Limits on federal spending
- Limits on federal power
- Limits on federal terms of office
"I do think you got a really good shot at a balanced budget amendment and term limits," O'Reilly said. "Red states are going to want the balanced budget amendment, so I think you've got a good shot at that."
Mark also explained that amendments could also be written to force the U.S. Congress to pass only single-subject bills rather than omnibus packages.
"I like that. I like that a lot," O'Reilly said.
