On March 1, the Constitutional Convention delegates will meet at the Capitol building in Washington D.C. The delegates will work from March through May to create a new constitution that 51% or more of the delegates approve. The 100 delegates will choose one of their own attending delegates to be the chairman of the Convention by using Instant Runoff Voting with 7 candidates on the slate. Each party will choose one of its delegates at the Convention to be the potential chairman or chairwoman of the Convention.
If delegates reach a 51% majority before the 3 months elapse, they must use the remaining days to hear dissenting voices in the constant effort to revise their document, through consensus decision-making, in order to get an even higher percentage of approval than 51%. If 50% or less of the delegates approves the new constitution after working on it for 3 months, then it becomes void, and the current constitution remains official.
However, if the new constitution is approved with a 51% majority or higher by the end of May, then the delegates will determine the specifics as to when and how the new government, based on the new constitution, will be implemented in a safe, orderly, and smooth way on October 1.

(End of 23-Month Timeline and Timeline Summary)
Formal discussions and debates of the Convention will use parliamentary procedure, and delegates will strive for consensus decision-making, which is more sympathetic and empathetic than mere majority rule. The spoken and written words of the delegates must be publicized, and citizens will be allowed to voice their own opinions in the process.
The US Congress, the President, and the US Supreme Court will not have the right to control a Constitutional Convention. They can, however, express their opinions and recommendations in the process. (This is the end of ARTICLE XVII and the end of the Third Constitution of the United States.)
