" Once approved by Congress, the joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment does not require presidential approval before it goes out to the states. While Article I Section 7 provides that all federal legislation must, before becoming Law, be presented to the president for his or her signature or veto, Article V provides no such requirement for constitutional amendments approved by Congress or by a federal convention. Thus, the president has no official function in the process.[b] In Hollingsworth v. Virginia (1798), the Supreme Court affirmed that it is not necessary to place constitutional amendments before the president for approval or veto.[10]"
If Democrats win control of the House and Senate what amendments would most likely be ratified by 38 states? We could have an amendment to increase the federal minimum wage and tie it to the cost of living or quality healthcare as a basic human right or ban political free speech protections for non-human legal entities or ban broad immunity for the president and allow the pardon power of the president to be blocked by The Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader.
What hypothetical amendments would have the most support?
It’s hilarious that even with all of that going on, there’s still not a single issue that the two parties can agree on and implement.
Term limits? Profiting from your position/insider trading?
Both popular issues with both parties, but absolutely zero attempt from either side to implement them.
Why would greedy men give up an easy way to make money?
Oof, so you think that greater than 70% of the people in congress care more about their take home pay than the success of the country they represent?
Yes. Have you not been paying attention?
The money isn’t that great, that by itself doesn’t explain anything; your chances of being the next Nancy Polosy is about 0%.
Yeah, no shit. I work in a factory. What exactly does that have to do with anything?
The obviously implication is that I meant “that, working in congress”… I didn’t mean exactly you in your current life situation.
Pelosi isnt even the top 10% of grifters in congress using their position to inside trafe
Sure… If you exclude her husband, but theres only one reason you would do that…
Yes. Easily greater than 70%.
I’d like to think that if I was in their situation that I wouldn’t be in that 70%.
If I was in a situation where I could screw everyone behind me, but make the county better in the process I’d do it in a heartbeat.
That’s why you won’t get to their situation. You self-select out of it
I thought this was funny sarcasm
