“I’ve got a better idea: repeal the horrible 17th Amendment, and give STATES their place back at the table. The Senate was NOT intended to be popularly elected, but chosen from honorable men who served in the States’ Legislature, so they would have STATES’ interests at heart. Because of the 17th Amendment, we have States treated as nothing more than administrative regions. The Founders would beg to differ.”
AGREE!! The Senate was originally meant to represent the STATES and the House was to directly represent the people.
We could take that further and set it up where the House selects the President. I think far more attention would be paid to one’s vote for U.S. Representative. In addition, the president so elected would have ONE six year term.
No more media coronation of someone just because they are for “hope” and “change” or any similar vacuous nonsense.
