BREAKING: States Ban Together To Stop Barack H. Obama Once And For All Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has led the charge in court against President Obamas amnesty program for illegal aliens. Now, hes started pushing a convention of the states proposal, and its gaining momentum quickly. The proposal is designed to invoke Article V of the U.S. Constitution to propose new amendments to the founding document. On Friday, Abbott called for such a convention to seize power from a federal government that is out of control and return it to the states. He called his proposal The Texas Plan. Some of the amendments in the proposal include prohibiting administrative agencies from creating and preempting federal law, mandating that the Congress balance its budget, and allowing two-thirds majority of the states to override a Supreme Court decision. Abbott further argued that Obama has abused his presidential authorities, and defied the United States Constitution. If this is allowed, the United States Constitution has been completely rewritten, Abbott said in an interview. The United States Supreme Court is a co-conspirator in tearing down our Constitution, which is exactly why I am calling for a Convention of States so we can restore the Constitution to its original principles. Abbott argues that the convention would force the federal government to take the Constitution seriously again. So far, only five states have joined. What do you think of Abbotts proposal?
