(To restore the 10th Amendment, repeal the 17th. Article V.)

My copy of the 17th Amendment establishes the requirement that there will be two senators from each state and the term will be six years. Each senator gets one vote. And it contains procedures to fill vacancies.
Seems okay to me. What am I missing that you see as so troubling that we need to repeal the 17th Amendment? Please tell me.

There is no reason why a state couldn’t require that Senatorial candidates be chosen by their state legislatures and then placed before the citizens for the popular election. This would solve the problem without the need to repeal the 17th.
