Agreed. While we’re at it, bring home every legislator from that pit, and make them ALL telecommute. We can have all the legislation done via video conference. That way, they’ll be among the constituents they’re supposed to represent. Right, MArco Rubio?

Imagine for a moment, if you will,
how the text of a 17th amendment repeal would read...
-
Simply: “The 17th amendment is hereby repealed.”???

Or would/should it contain more?

“The manner and method of selection of the members of the United States Senate shall be determined by each of the several states.”???

and/or

“The term of office for members of the United States Senate shall be 6 years; terms will be staggered with 1/3 being elected every 2 years; but no person shall be chosen for the office of Senate of the United States for more than two terms.”???

and/or

“Each member of the United States Senate must be at least thirty years old, and must be a legal citizen of the United States for at least 12 years, and must be a legal resident of the state from which they are chosen for at least the previous 12 years.”
