I might be mistaken, but isn't this little detail spelled out in the Constitution? If so, this 'legislation' would have a monumentally-uphill battle for sucess.

A constitutional amendment would be needed to make the change. Stenholm’s bill would have to be passed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, then ratified by three-fourths of the states, a process that generally takes years.

Nevermind. That's what I get for browsing the top few paragraphs...
