"The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.
When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.
This amendment shall not be so construed as to affect the election or term of any Senator chosen before it becomes valid as part of the Constitution."
This amendment outlines the parameters of the senate. Also, this amendment makes it so that the people directly elect senators instead of state governments electing senators.
The tea bagging imbecile in this video wishes to repeal the 17th amendment and go back to having the state legislatures vote for senators. Thanks god for the Tea Party. A whole group of idiots parading around the country? That is awesome.
This video is about senate campaign ads, ads that are put in place to affect our choices as voters. As we the people have the responsibility to elect senators, these ads are created to directly affect our votes.
