An amendment can also repeal an existing amendment, the way the 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment (prohibition).
“An amendment can also repeal an existing amendment, the way the 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment (prohibition).”
True. Now, where would those Ammendments originate? The constitution calls for 2 methods for Ammendment proposals. They can come from Congress, or from an Article 5 Convention of the States.
Both must still be ratified by 3/4’s of the States.
Now, do you think that Congress will propose the abolishment of the 17th Ammendment? When is Congress going to propose the balance budget amendment? How about the abolition of the IRS ammendment?
If you are honest, you would admit that none of the fixes we need will originate in Congress. That leaves it to the States!
