“How will changing the Constitution help?”

Good point. It won’t help.

The Constitution does not need to be changed it needs to be followed.

It takes 2/3 of the states to ratify an ammendment to the Constitution. It would take way less than that number of states to use the 10th ammendment to simply nullify the laws and regulations put into effect by this progressive administration.

State sovereigntly is the way to go not Article V. If Obama keeps up his demented tactics the Congress could invoke Article 25 and remove him for being unfit. Frankly I think they have grounds to do it now.

@GeorgiaGirl “State sovereigntly is the way to go not Article V.”

Follow the steps:
1) Convene Article V State Convention
2) Exit Convention with language specifically removing the language of the 17th Amendment
3) As U.S. Senators rotate back to legislative appointments the chamber is once again filled with people designated to conduct their jobs on behalf of the states and not self interested voters.
4) Future and past legislation is repaired to return the power back to the states and the people (unfunded mandates dissolve)
5) Now you have power within the state.

Tell me your path to restoring that power, please. Other than hope and voting for the existing animal.

No, it takes 3/4 of the states.

State sovereigntly is the way to go

How do you propose we do that?
