So you think the Constitution, articles and amendments can be thwarted, ignored.

Here’s a proposed Constitutional amendment. Tell me how you see it ignored os somehow made irrelevant:

************************************************
AMENDMENT XXVIII (’State Suffrage’)

To restore effective suffrage of State Legislatures to Congress, the following amendment is proposed:

************************************************
Section 1.
A Senator in Congress shall be subject to recall by their respective state legislature or by voter referendum in their respective state.

Section 2.
Term limits for Senators in Congress shall be set by vote in their respective state legislatures but in no case shall be set less than twelve years nor more than eighteen years.

Section 3:
The seventeenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

************************************************

I would oppose that amendment because the words “Senator” and “their” do not agree in number.

While these are admirable amendments that I would support, their implementation depends solely on the good will and honor of the people.

We have an Article 2 Section 1 in the Constitution. Look how well that is enforced. Do we still have a Department of Education? Where is that in the Constitution?
