Rep. Keith Self(@RepKeithSelf):The 17th Amendment gutted federalism. It stripped state legislatures of their power to choose senators and handed the Senate to popular vote. The House faces the people every two years. Senators get six-year terms and routinely escape the accountability the Founders designed. Repeal the 17th. Restore the states’ voice.
