You may not have a problem with that, but within 8 years of its being put into practice, there was a HUGE problem with it, and that’s why it was changed (otherwise you’d have had the loser candidate VP perpetually acting to undermine an administration). Same with the 17th Amendment. The method of selection of Senators was not working as it was intended by the mid-19th century, and hence was legally changed.

8 years of “practice” would put you right around the year 1802 or so. And that has absolutely nothing to do with the 17th Amendment.

The laws on abortion were legally changed. You ok with those too?

The 17th is a abomination and needs to be sent to the ash heap of history along with all the other stupid progressive ideas.
