The House and Senate are WERE designed to be closer to the representation of voters of this country ...

17th amendment kind of ended Sentors being close. I say, repeal the 17th and 16th too!

Not sure why I follow with the 17th, why election of Senators by direct popular election is moving things away from the people’s choice compared to their being selected by the Individual States.

Seems the former is closer than the latter.

What am I missing?
