Thank you for referencing that article SMGFan. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.
Patriots, beware of the politically correct term “capturing the Senate.” The constitutional reality is that all that simple majority control of the Senate wins for patriots is a lame duck Senate.
More specifically, the Constitution gives the Senate the power to do things like remove House-impeached presidents from office (1.3.6) and overturn presidential vetoes (1.7.2), but only when the Senate can do so with a 2/3 majority vote, the House also needing a 2/3 majority vote in order for Congress to override vetoes.
But thanks to the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, even after three election cycles, enough cycles to have replaced all members of the Senate by now, low-information patriots have not only not established a 2/3 conservative Senate majority to remove a House-impeached Obama, but many patriots are probably still clueless of this requirement.
Sometimes I think that low-information patriots can sleep in the bed of unconstitutionally big federal government that they have made for themselves.
Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if the corrupt Washington cartel wants the Senate to be a lame duck so the Senate cannot remove impeached presidents, or override vetoes.
Why are you disparaging patriots? It ain’t our fault the liberals vote as they do...
