That language is only proposed and carries no legal weight or significance. The call for a constitutional convention has to have a singular focus it's just based around money in politics. E.g., http://www.leg.state.vt.us/docs/2014/Resolutions/JRS027/ACTR454%20As%20Adopted.pdf http://www.leg.state.vt.us/docs/2014/Resolutions/JRS027/ACTR...
The wording of the amendment would be decided and voted upon at the convention (75% of states required).
- dvanduzer 12y agoI was half joking, but I also don't think that "get money out of politics" is a pragmatic approach to amending the constitution. Maybe something like "get governance back into politics" could take the form of a constitutional amendment requiring that every citizen vote (along with mandated funding to make that convenient for every citizen).
