Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry earlier this week supported a resolution that would repeal the 17th Amendment and strip American voters of their right to elect U.S. Senators.
The joint resolution, introduced by Texas Congressman Keith Self, aims to “restore the Founders’ original vision for the United States” and return the selection of senators to state legislatures.
“Our Founding Fathers designed the Senate to protect state sovereignty and act as a check on federal overreach. If senators are supposed to represent their states, then the states should choose them. Repealing the 17th Amendment will restore that constitutional balance and make the Senate more accountable to the people of Texas and every other state in the union,” Self said.
They've already done that with the 14th amendment.
Edited for crash out: I am Australian. I have never been to the US and never intend to go there. I should not know this much about your fucking politics. I know all of your supreme court justices' names while I couldn't name a single one from our High Court. I suppose it's my own fault for engaging with US political news so much, but on the other hand I do need to stay informed about what's happening there because your fascist regime is interfering in my country's politics as well.
