Edit: 17. Q. 17 No one noticed that on the conversation thus far below.
Original:
Direct election of US Senators. This amendment, on its Fucking face most changed how our country was established. If this didn’t happen, Republicans would hold a MASSIVE majority in the US senate. MASSIVE. There is no local pressure on our county/district officials. None. Everyone looks to Washington. REPEAL THIS. NOW.
Term limits is a start.
Even better, a way to recall Senators. Representatives can be recalled or removed by the House Ethics Committee (and those processes could be easier) but a Senator can only be expelled by 2/3 of the Senate.
