ARTICLE V.

The only sticky wicket I see is the ...proposed by Congress. Does this mean that Congress can decide which of the two it will recognize? Or does it mean that Congress can merely express its desire? Or does this apply only to the bills that were developed in the Congress? There's no time line for Congress to decide, could this be used to hinder such a process?

It seemed very clear to me that the "proposed by Congress" is refering to any amendment proposed by Congress. -Doug
