Our country is in for a rough few years.
No matter your political leanings, impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States aren't cause for celebration. The impeachment inquiry will divide our already-divided country and cast a shadow of doubt on the 2020 presidential elections.
Impeachment is never a good thing, but for the millions of Americans volunteering for and supporting the Convention of States Project, the machinations of D.C. politics only serve to strengthen their resolve.
A Convention of States isn't called or controlled by the President. It isn't controlled by Congress or the Supreme Court. So while the people who fill these roles hold enormous sway over our country's future prosperity, they aren't what really matters.
President Trump may or may not be impeached, but the fight to drain the swamp will continue. Because while the President was taking steps to shrink the regulatory state, he was never going to reverse the last 100 years of federal growth. What's more, the next President could easily reverse the progress he's made, and the American people would be right back where they started.
The real fight to drain the swamp is occurring in states across the country as dozens of legislatures decide whether or not to call an Article V Convention of States.
A Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments. These amendments can do what one president never could -- effectively and permanently end the bureaucratic state, the same bureaucratic state dead set on removing President Trump.
Amendments could be proposed in plain, simple language that prohibit the federal government from controlling or spending money on anything not expressly mentioned in the Constitution. D.C. would be forced out of healthcare, education, and the myriad other aspects of American life they currently control.
Our hope should not be in a president, no matter how we feel about him. The best way to drain the swamp is found in Article V of the Constitution, and that fight will continue no matter what happens in D.C.
