16-711. Congressional provisions as superseding
article
If at or about the time of submitting such amendment, Congress, either in the
resolution submitting the amendment or by statute, prescribes the manner in which the
conventions shall be constituted, and does not except from the provisions of the statute
or resolution the states which theretofore have provided for constituting such
conventions, this article shall be inoperative. The convention shall in such event be
constituted and shall operate as the resolution or act of Congress directs, and all
officers of the state who are by the resolution or statute authorized or directed to take
any action to constitute a convention for this state are authorized and directed to act
thereunder and in obedience thereto with the same force and effect as if acting under a
statute of this state.
