The 17th what you ask. That would be the 17th amendment of the US constitution. Nothing important, it is only the amendment that gave people that right to elect their state senators. Instead of having state legislators pick them for you.
........what you don't know who Gohmert is. Don't feel bad no one else does. Representative Louie Gohmert is from that great state of......well you can most likely guess.
TEXAS!
Gomer Gohmert said "Ever since the safeguard of State legislatures electing U.S. Senators was removed by the 17th Amendment in 1913, there has been no check or balance on the Federal power grab for the last 97 years. Article V requires a minimum of 34 states to request a Convention which in this case, would be an Amendment Convention for only ONE amendment."
So a Texas congressman thinks that the people election Senator is bad. Somehow I'm not overly surprised. Personally I think that people should stop election air headed morons such as this.
