I used to support a repeal of the 17th but now I'm not so sure. Prior to the 17th Senators tried to shovel pork to the states. You'd get logrolling following that dynamic also.
I think term limits make more sense. One and done.

Replace the 17th with 1 Senator appointed by Gov, 1 Senator selected by state legislative branch. Senators serve for 6 years.
If Gov or legislators unable to appoint by 2 weeks prior to start of Senate, then the duty falls to the other... i.e. If legislators cant decide by 2 weeks prior, Gov then picks. If Gov unwilling or unable to choose someone, legislators fill the appointment.
Either way, if no one is selected by the start of session, the seat is vacant till the next convening. You snooze, you loose.
