Isn’t that special? And if you believe the Daily Beast, this “could trigger a Constitutional convention”:
The Virginia General Assembly passed the Equal Rights Amendment Wednesday, potentially pushing it past the threshold for inclusion in the U.S. Constitution. The vote could trigger a Constitutional convention on the federal gender-equality amendment. https://t.co/9AkpWOZO0m

There's two separate methods of amending the constitution. Voting for one method does not trigger the other. I'm just flummoxed by this one.
