Repealing the 17th amendment would help the republic a lot. Yes, it would. However, what is supposed to help the demonstrated ignorance of the populace? The franchise having been so diluted, the survival of the Republic is in doubt.

Democracy = The Tyranny of the Ignorant.

Sorry to return to an established personal mantra, but with the end-run around Article II, the present administration may have mortally wounded the Constitiution.

It will take a while to bleed out. But in the meantime, The Legislative branch has ignored its responsibilities, the Judicial Branch has ignored its responsibilities, and the outgoing admininistration under GW completely abdicated its Executive responsibilities.

If so many Americans believe the President to have run illegitimately, and thus ineligible to serve,do they not deserve a hearing? What if they are wrong? What if they are correct? It's a valid constitutional question and unless it is answered constitutionally, the rest of the document is, in the long run, worthless.

The official interpretation of Article II is missing.

Please do not mention "Hawaii" in my presence.
