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

Vote Trump!

The 17th could be repealed, but practically speaking it would have to be done by the states calling for a convention, since I doubt that 2/3s of the Senate would vote for it. Why the states back in 1913 didn’t or couldn’t realize that the 17th amendment was stripping their power in the federal government, I can’t explain.
