re: Not sure if people realize this, but the Electoral College is on the chopping block now

A simple challenge to the constitutionality of the EC would simply have to make its way to the court and it would. The EC would then be deemed unconstitutional.

so in your hypothetical a procedure written in Article 2 in the original Constitution would be ruled Unconstitutional?

you want to pause and reconsider that hypothetical?

You sure got them with this concern troll.

California, New York, and Illinois alone should not be able to determine the presidency by running up the score there.

You didn’t think this through, did you? There are far more republican and independent voters in those 3 states than anywhere else. Democrats carry less than half of the percentages in those states.

I am sure the millions of illegals allowed to vote illegally in blue states are not a factor at all in their popular vote scheme.

Ahh, everyone loves a dead talking point. If this were true, why aren’t the republicans up in arms this cycle casting fraud accusations?

Rush Limbaugh talked about this kind of stuff.

And quite a few since had joined him carrying that torch.

If we'd had principled Americans like them in office this country would never have wound up where we find it today.

Repeal the 17th Amendment

They will do this, open borders wide and we will likely see sharia law

I'm open to being convinced. Give us the Trump/MAGA equivalent of the Left convincing more than half of Democrats that socialism is a better economic system than capitalism.

Oh yea and then if they do it anyways? Then what? Who stops it?

the process is steep



An amendment can be proposed through either of these methods:
• By Congress: A two-thirds supermajority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate (this is the only method that has ever been used to propose amendments).
• By Constitutional Convention: Congress must call a national convention for proposing amendments if requested by the legislatures of two-thirds of the states (34 out of 50 states). This method has never been used.

Step 2: Ratification (Two Ways)

Once proposed, the amendment must be ratified by the states using one of two methods chosen by Congress:
• State Legislatures: Approval by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states (38 out of 50 states).
• State Ratifying Conventions: Approval by special conventions held in three-fourths of the states (38 out of 50 states). This method has been used only once, for the 21st Amendment.

Key Details of the Process

• No Presidential Role: The President of the United States has no formal role in the constitutional amendment process; a joint resolution from Congress does not require a presidential signature.
• State Role and Limits: A state legislature cannot change or alter the language of a proposed amendment; doing so invalidates its ratification. A governor's signature is not required.
• Official Certification: Once three-fourths of the states have ratified the amendment, the Archivist of the United States issues a formal certification through the National Archives, and it officially becomes part of the Constitution.
• Unamendable Provision: The Constitution explicitly protects equal suffrage for each state in the Senate, meaning no state can be deprived of its equal vote in the Senate without its consent.
