No more than 1/3 of the Senate can be voted out at one time.

Do you think this is an accident?

Kinda like its an accident tax day is 6 months away from election day !

I don't see why that matters, so long as the feds aren't appointing members of Congress.

I think it's a good idea to stagger the Senate terms. Especially since the entire House runs every two years.

Also, electing 100 Senators every six years could cut both ways.

The original method of Senate appointments by State legislatures served as a better check on Federal power than the popularly elected Senate since the early 1900s.

Which wasn't in the Constitution until the early 1900s.

They even took away booze after instituting the income tax. That's cold.

What the hell were they thinking in the early 1900s?
