Federal judges are, however, appointed by the @POTUS, who's elected by the people & as required by the @USConstitution, confirmed by #USSenate, all of whose members are directly elected by the people, per the #17thAmendment. Then there's #MarburyVMadison, the law since 1803.

Made a comment on Senator #Schumer It was those that passed the #17thAmendment in 1913 making our legislative branch into two houses. Simply (1/6 + 1/6)+1/3+1/3 = 1 system of checks and balance post 17th.. (1/3+1/3)+1/3+1/3 = 1 System of checks no balance So #History says

Rank choice voting for the US Senate is or should be illegal. Once the #17thAmendment was passed the process of selecting Senators passed from the states to the federal government. Senators need to be elected in a uniform way. #Cheating

You deserve to be primaried out. Abolish the #17thamendment

The 17th Amendment shifted senators' focus from state power to voter popularity, turning them into House members with longer terms. How has this changed US politics? The rest of the story: bit.ly/4oZNaB0 #USPolitics #17thAmendment @CWBChicago @BobFiorettiChi

17th Amendment shifted senate to direct election by citizens. This has led to senators representing donors and federal interests over state authority. The balance of power shifted too far? Rest of the story: bit.ly/4oZNaB0 #USPolitics #17thAmendment @Libs_OfChicago

Trump endorses Sununu? That's too bad. Washington DC should NOT be dictating who we send to Washington. We need to repeal the #17thAmendment and send the Senate back to the states. I'll say this for Sununu (Mr Invisible), it's a better endorsement than Murkowski. #NHPolitics

Repeal the #17thAmendment. The Founders knew that the various States would best select members of the Upper House. 17A was a Progressive initiative from the 1930’s.

Returning Senatorial selection to state legislatures restores the "simpatico" link of power. It ends the "Salami Tactics" that fragment our republic and forces the Senate to protect state sovereignty from federal overreach. #Federalism #17thAmendment

To restore our "simpatico" balance between the states and federal power, the 17th Amendment must go. Direct elections broke the compound-republic design, fueled populism, and stripped state sovereignty. Return to the founders' vision. Repeal the 17th. #17thAmendment #Federalism

Today in 1913, the #17thAmendment to the U.S. Constitution-providing for popular election of U.S. senators (as opposed to appointment by state legislatures)-was ratified. Part of the #ProgressiveEra's overall effort to expand democracy in the USA, and reduce political corruption.

On this day in 1913, the #17thAmendment to the United States #Constitution became law, requiring the direct election of U.S. Senators by the voters of the state they represented. Previously, members of the upper house of the U.S. Congress were appointed by state legislatures.

Yep. That's why we need help @COSProject to repeal the #16thAmendment and #17thAmendment and eliminate income taxes. The Fed's would be forced to do a Fair Tax.

The #17thAmendment to the United States Constitution, requiring direct election of U.S. Senators, became the law of the land, OTD in 1913. This change was considered one of the great reforms of the Progressive Era. Originally, senators were appointed by each state's legislature.
