Might be time to make a change and do away with the 17th Amendment like we did with the 18th Amendment that was changed by the 21st Amendment. Bring back control of the Federal Government to the States.

I agree with returning control of individual states with a few exceptions (military). However what would you do with the17th Amendment dismiss all 50 senators? If we did would your depend only on House Representatives to coordinate and look out as to what was going on in Washington? Would Congress then consist of Represenatatives only?
