Maybe this is why the Senators were intended to be chosen by State legislatures.
Repealing the direct election of Senators would have the effect of permitting a simple majority of States from preventing these laws they don’t want. I think that is what the original framers had in mind, not 2/3’s.
One could say that we got into the mess we are in because of the amendments voted in between 1913 and 1920 during the first wave of progressives.
This lowers the bar to passing a constitutional amendment. A very bad idea.
2/3rds is too much. It should be a simple majority. If 26 States do not want a federal bill, then there is no question that the bill should be repealed.
Not sure if I support this, sounds good in principle, but may be used by liberals in the future to undermine Congress..(be careful what you wish for).
IF I were to propose an amendment it would be that all laws should have expiration dates on them.
That way congress can’t keep adding new laws and total number of laws regulating people can’t get increasingly larger as it does now.
