My first thought is that I’ve never heard of anyone with power willing to support something that might restrain that power.

Congratulations! You've just passed Politics 101.

Neither have I. What a concept, huh.

“My first thought is that I’voe never heard of anyone with power willing to support something that might restrain that power.”

That’s the conventional wisdom, that it can’t be done because there’s no way the Senators will give up their hot tub. So, when the front door is blocked, barred and bolted, go in the back door and that’s what we’re doing. The second principle, much like the first, came from a shoulder patch I saw on a U.S. fighter pilot —”When you’re losing the game, change the rules.” That too is what we’re doing. So, if you’re curious as to how this works, send me an email and I’ll send you a copy of the plan.

Which is why this would have to start in the House of Representatives, or through the States calling for an Article V convention on the matter.
