Given that the South has sweet veto power over this, and I'm it's governor.  This only gets the chance of my support it if I get good stuff that benefits me and my party.

How will the delegates to the convention be selected if it happens?
Congress would have to adopt rules for delegate selection, as we did in 2015. Back then there was a mix of regional, party, and congressional (senatorial) delegates.
How would the composition of delegates be determined in a majority Labor congress?

Having an all Labor slate of delegates would be so unbelievably dumb and would really destroy the game. That’d be taking partisanship in the game (which I think is often good from an electoral prospective) way too far IMO.
Would Labor just make sure they control majorities on it instead?

I will be the sole appointed delegate and revise the constitution from my dungeon lair.
I appreciate the honesty!  Wink
