Assignment 5 A. Brakefield

In The State.com, South Carolina’s Home Page, George F. Will explains how the 17th amendment gives “executive authority” to the Senate. It allows a vacant spot in the senate to be filled. These spots are supposed to be chosen by the people. The Electoral College is in place to help keep order in the check and balance system.
I believe if the government could put someone in power that can help the people then I am cool with the 17th amendment. I want to be involved with this decision but it sounds like no one wants a college student to be involved. One day we’ll change their minds.
