Plus that way he got rid of the 17th you have to bribe the whole state house rather than just 1 senator
Who got rid of the 17th Amendment?
It’s still in effect!
I don’t understand your statement!
With no 17th Amendment, every legislator and state grandee will see themselves as senator. Due to that competition, you might not even need term limits.
No 17th Amendment and power of the position devolves back to the politics of the state house & state capital. Much closer to the people of the state and the state’s corporate needs. It’s still up to the people to watchdog the corruption but its more local. If the people don’t do that then no reform will work!
