To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Abolishing the Senate would require more than a mere amendment. It would require a new Constitution. Article V (which sets the rules for amendments) states that the state’s cannot be deprived of their equal representation in the Senate. Of course a new constitution could get rid of all kinds of problems like term limits for beloved presidents and that pesky 2nd amendment.

Forget about abolishing the Senate. I'll settle for repealing the 17th Amendment.

Vote Trump!

One can amend Article V to allow states to be so deprived and then amend Article I as appropriate to abolish the Senate. An idiotic idea, but possible without requiring a new constitution.
