(WASHINGTON TIMES) -- Former Sen. Tom Coburn reiterated his calls for an Article V Convention to rein in the federal government.
Mr. Coburn first proposed the Article V convention idea when he was still in the Senate, but the idea has started to get traction with 12 states signing on to be part of it.
The proposal aims to re-balance the branches of government and the federal and state governments as well. An Article V Convention can be invoked when two-thirds of state legislatures call to change the Constitution.
