Patriots are reminded that it can be argued that ordinary voters “own(ed)” both the corrupt Senate, and the now dead Iran “deal,” through the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A).

We really need to get rid of 17A.

The 16th Amendment can disappear too.

Yes, the Senate was originally created to represent the state governments. That’s why the Senate has the power to ratify treaties, not the Congress as a whole. The 17th Amendment really turned our original form of government on its head. Something else to thank the Progressives for.
