We have been covering the US Constitution line by line. When Republicans wave their paper props and parrot their vile machinations, we will be prepared to expose the lies. We have finished the main body of the Constitution. Now we continue with the Amendments. You can find the last article on the main body of the Constitution<\/font> here<\/a>. It has links to all the others. The text comes from<\/font> The US Constitution<\/a>. Previous articles in the Amendment series:<\/font><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1: 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.<\/p>\n 2: 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.<\/p>\n 3: 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Seventeenth Amendment, adopted in 1913, provides for the direct election of Senators by popular vote, when previously, they were chosen by state legislatures.<\/font><\/p>\n It is only controversial today, because some Republicans want to repeal it. I find that quite ironic, because they insist that they are the champion of individual rights. OOPS! I suppose we just caught them in another lie.<\/font><\/p>\n I shall try to put up a new article in this series almost every day. It will take some time to cover it all, but when we\u2019re done, we shall be immune to the lies with which Republicans seek to undermine our freedoms.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have been covering the US Constitution line by line.
