Of course, these days people vote for the party, not the candidate, which explains why we have such a poor track record insofar as our senators go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-79754860274919501842009-06-17T12:01:08.027-04:002009-06-17T12:01:08.027-04:00Of course, the person who made the poster may have...Of course, the person who made the poster may have meant the 16th Amendment, a constant annoyance to such people, but lost count.

I'm thinking maybe before the 17th ammendment that they couldn't be in that office for more than 6 years? If someone who knows the constitution well could respond, I'd like to know.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09783555977680455683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-74921644026280083472009-06-17T08:58:58.918-04:002009-06-17T08:58:58.918-04:00Repeal the 17th Amendment?
