Forcing our congressmen to try to resolve the government shutdown

We could pass an amendment to the Constitution permitting recalling congressmen.

The state legislatures will have the power to impeach their own congressional representatives under the following requirements: The state Legislature can impeach U.S. legislators only from its own state.

Three fifths of the state legislators must vote to impeach the person in question.

The State Supreme Court chief justice will preside over the trial or appoint any state associate justice or state judge to preside.

At least two thirds of the states must vote for such a convention.

Forty-nine states, all except Hawaii, have voted for it.

How can we get Congress to submit the above amendment when its members ignore our attempts to submit them ourselves? By threatening to replace them with congressmen who will pass the amendment.
