The delegates to the Constitutional Convention had intended for ordinary citizen voters to vote representatives out of office for appropriating unpopular, unconstitutional taxes.
But corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification lawmakers now escape taxpayers’ wrath by hiding behind non-elected bureaucrats running the constitutionally undefined IRS, especially in an election year, bureaucrats in all so-called federal regulatory agencies unconstitutionally weakening voting power imo.
Insights welcome.
And speaking of election year, Trump’s red tsunami of patriot supporters are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.
Again, insights welcome.
Inaccurate.
Under the Articles of Confederation, congressmen were selected by the state legislatures and could be recalled by the legislatures.
Under the Constitution, neither congressmen nor senators are subject to recall, either by the voters or by the state legislatures. This has been litigated in federal court in several instances. You can only remove a congressman or senator by death, resignation, or expulsion by two thirds of the members of the House in which the person sits.
