The Seventeenth Amendment provided for the direct elections of Senators by the voters of each state. Originally, two Senators were chosen by the state legislature to represent the interests of the state. Their re-election chances could change if the people decided to change out the legislature. But, during the "Progressive Era", it was said that didn't represent the people's will directly enough and the 17th Amendment was passed.

Now, we have Senators who get elected by people simply because of a D or R by their name, and little knowledge of them. They have become like "super-representatives" because their election is every six years. And we get people like Lynden Graham, John Cornyn, Chuck Schumer and the late Robert Byrd. (Byrd BTW, at the end of his life felt that the 17th should be repealed)

Do you think in Trump's 2nd term, the new Congress should repeal the 17th Amendment?
