An article V convention of the states to propose an amendment that allows state voters to recall their representatives at both State and Federal levels. In NJ, this was written into the State constitution and an effort to recall Menendez was thwarted because he is a “Federal Official”

This really needs to change!Of course, if we repeal the 17th amendment and restore election of US Senators by state legislatures as our founders intended, traitors like Flake, Hatch and Graham would be long gone.

It would still be tough to adopt an amendment by Article Five convention. 38 states are needed for ratification and the Republicans currently control 30 state legislatures. The Democrats control 11 and nine are split between the two parties.
