Yes, it will, but we can do it.

They should also throw something in there that addresses institutionalized bribery, also known as campaign contributions, which the Supreme Court ruled was free speech. .

House Members are elected by the majority vote of their congressional District.

I wonder what would happen if we amended or cancelled out the 17th amendment, with language that stipulated that since House Members represent 700,000 people, shouldn’t Senate members be elected in like manner.

Each Congressional District would have one vote in the election of a Senator. This vote would be determined by the number of Congressional Districts that voted in majority for the Senate candidate, rather than the statewide “winner take all” voting process we currently have.

Large urban areas would only have one or two State level votes, ranter than swamping out the remaining Congressional Districts’ votes, and disenfranchising the voters in the other district through voter fraud. After all aren’t we a Representative Republic?

Yes, and as a practical matter the Amendment would explicitly exempt Senators and Members of Congress who were in office at the time the Amendment was ratified. Grandfathering the last generation of professional politicians is a small price to pay for fixing an endemic problem.

Two terms for Senators, 5 for Members of Congress should be plenty. If anyone can make that deal happen it will be Trump.
