    The term Congressman refers to a member of the House of Representatives.

    Per our Constitution spending bills must originate in the House of Representatives.

    The Democratic controlled Senate just changed its rules to allow approval of some appointees with a simple majority vote instead of 60 yay votes. SCOTUS members still need 60 votes. These are internal rules set by the Senate, not by The Constitution.
    ok if this is true why the 17th amendment? why would it be needed?

    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    Prior to the 17th amendment U.S. Senators were selected by state legislatures. The Progressives convinced the sheeple that direct election would give the citizens more influence over whom served in the Senste. However, this was a major step in diluting the power of the States and State's rights.

    Just think, if Senators were still selected by State Legislatures, then large cities like NYC and Chitcago would not be able to control those elections.

    Whether it wears a D or an R, never trust a Progressive.

    I got an email from the Birchers urging me not to support an Article V convention. Their concern is it could be highjacked. Mark Levin has explained why it can't and that an Article V is NOT the same as a Constitutional Convention. Even Article V explains it.


    I agree the 17th Amendment should be shitcanned.
    Usually sufferers of paraphilic infantilism are proud of their condition. Kinda like being a liberal. Your mental flaws are there for the entire world to see, and you're damned proud of it. - tank_monkey
