I have a better idea. Back in the Eighties, an idea that popped up was called the "Utah Option". As to what it has to do with Utah, I never figured out. According to the Utah Option, the Constitution would be amended as follows:
- If the legislatures of three-fourths of the states vote a No-Confidence Resolution, the current federal government is dissolved.
- Elections for Congress, President and Vice President would be called in 30 days. This would include all of the Senate no matter which "class" a senator belonged it.
- No sitting congressman, senator, president or vice president would be eligible to serve in the new government.
- Upon the new government being seated, all federal judges would be fired. The new president would appoint the new judges with the advice and consent of the new Senate.
- All bureaucrats and civil servants would be fired, and the new government would fill their slots as desired.
I think this idea would have more power than what you are suggesting.

Sounds like a nuclear option a man could grow to love.

Thank you, Publius.
The Utah Option would be an excellent tool for states to PUSH congress into taking safe borders, impeachment, and bold reforms seriously! That nuclear option could FORCE congress to actually take things seriously. Pulling the trigger could possibly backfire, but the mere threat could be enough.
We the People are SICK of wide open borders and of other scandalous outrages.
I’ve also been thinking of something else, and this works well in coordination with that. [Coming up.]
