Feingold’s Foolish Amendment to the 17th Amendment
Every two years voters go to the polls to vote for their member of Congress. They vote for either a member of the House or a member of the Senate. A House member runs every two years; a member of the Senate runs every six years. This is what voters are accustomed to, and what they-by and large-assume is the way the system has always functioned. They are wrong. Voters were never intended to vote directly for their state’s senator, and for good reason.
