This Article was written by George F. Will. He talks about how the 17th amendment allows senators to be elected by a popular vote. It says when vacancies occur the Senate has the executive authority to appoint whomever they deem worthy to take the place. Feingold stated in his amendment that no person can become a senator unless he is chosen by the people. Feingold believes that it would make the senate more responsive than ever.
Feingold and McCain have a good point. If feingold could change the constitution it would help stop some of the corruption in the senate but not all of it. Another thing is would we even allow one man to change The constitution thats been holding this country together? I mean, he does make a point having the people vote who gets put into senate would stop alot of arguement because we put them in.
