The Utah Senate asked Congress to repeal the 17th Amendment, which was ratified under the Progressive’s of 1913. Utah has boldly challenged a system that was never the intent of the Founding Fathers and suggests that the 17th Amendment has resulted in Senators being bound to special interest groups, that donate enormous sums of money for the Senator’s re-election, and not representing the needs of the people of Utah.
The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Al Jackson of Utah, believes that Senators need to “come home every weekend and take direction from their state legislative (sic) body and from the House and the Governor on how they should vote in the upcoming week.”
Passing with 20-6 SJR2 was sent to the House. It demands that Congress repeal the 17th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

How to seat a Senator? REALLY??? lol
Senate can’t do anything . . . It requires 2/3rds of states to approve any ammendments
Leave America alone,fuckin liberals!!!
Do we really need a Senate? Since the 17th Amendment, the Senate has sucked.
Hmmmm. So state senators could collect the huge campaign donations instead?
Um, y’all do know sharia isn’t an actual set of laws right..,
And the constitution was revamped after 1865… The war of northern aggression changed everything, and the 14th wasn’t even ratified thru vote
That’s 35 in all
Those are the bill of RIGHTS.
And she is still more honorable than Trump
