I’m not sure why you posted this without stating a conclusion. Since there are only 27 amendments to the Constitution, this one must not have passed. If that’s true, I don’t know why you didn’t mention that.

Or, am I missing something?

They should have allowed for the states to recall when they popularized the election of us senators removing it from the state legislatures. The states now effectively have no representatives in the swamp.
