Repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.
The 16th Amendment can disappear too.
If this is groveling Obama was a lap dog. Who rolled over said scratch my belly, and I’ll lick your feet!

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Leaders of the Group of Seven rich nations headed for a summit in Canada on Thursday more divided than at any time in the group’s 42-year history, as U.S. President Donald Trump’s “America First” policies risk causing a global trade war and deep diplomatic schisms.
In a bid to rebuild America’s industry, Trump has imposed hefty tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, including those from key G7 allies like Canada, Japan and the European Union.
He has threatened to use national security laws to do the same for foreign car imports and has walked back on environmental agreements and an international deal to prevent Iran from building a nuclear bomb.
Trump will arrive in Canada on Friday, on the way to Singapore where he hopes to strike a historic nuclear deal with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The U.S. president is in no mood for compromise over trade and now has frosty relations with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the summit host. Pleas by the other member countries for exemptions from the steel and aluminum tariffs, which went into effect on June 1, have fallen on deaf ears in Washington.
But rather than seek a fight with Trump at the summit, French President Emmanuel Macron made an appeal for productive discussion.
“In this environment, above all we always have to stay polite, stay productive and try to convince (them), to keep the United States on board because they are our historical ally and we need them,” Macron told a news conference held with Trudeau in Ottawa on Friday.
But he urged the other industrialized countries to stick together.
“We must not fall apart. The six other nations of the G7 represent a market that is larger than the American market,” Macron said.

Trump is simply A BULL IN A CHINA SHOP with the G7.
He’s a TOTAL WRECKING BALL in their prim-and-proper world.
And I LOVE IT.
Is Durkin taking about Iran? North Korea? The PLO? Venezuela? Cuba? Didn't think so.
Durbin and his IL constituents are the ultimate in “groveling” on behalf of the liberal state.
People in IL will always believe in their failed “leadership.”
Macron is quite wrong: the USA doesn’t need those “allies” at all. Those “allies” need the USA.
Does France or Canada produce anything that we can’t live without?
If they did, they would not have to be threatening our President and us re their unfair tariffs.
