This photo provided by the Library of Congress shows a painting by Howard Chandler Christy on display in the U.S. Capitol of George Washington presiding at the signing of the Constitution of the United States in Philadelphia on Sept. 17, 1787. As Republicans win control of more legislatures across the country, some want to use their growing power to limit federal spending and are considering calling a national constitutional convention. The move would be historic, as there has not been one since Washington led the original proceedings himself. But looking strictly at the math, the notion is not entirely out of reach.
