The second way shall be when Congress, by the vote of 2/3 of the primary-division legislatures, calls a convention for proposing amendments. Either way shall be valid when ratified by 3/4 of the primary-division legislatures or by conventions in 3/4 of the primary divisions.

Section 2

No amendment shall have an expiration date or deadline, and the federal government shall have the power to prevent any foreign or domestic interference with the amendment process.
