Ending our Blagojevich democracy
Russel Feingold:
The controversies surrounding some of the recent gubernatorial
appointments to vacant Senate seats make it painfully clear that such appointments are an anachronism that must end. In 1913, the Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution gave the citizens of this country the power to finally elect their senators. They should have the same power in the case of unexpected mid term vacancies, so thatthe Senate is as responsive as possible to the will of the people. I plan to introduce a constitutional amendment this week to require special elections when a Senate seat is vacant, as the Constitution mandates for the House, and as my own state of Wisconsin already requires by statute. As the Chairman of the Constitution Subcommittee, I will hold a hearing on this important topic soon.
Recall that in your elementary civics class you were taught, in blase fashion, that the process of amending the U.S. Constitution is totally crazy--a two-thirds majority in both the House and the Senate and ratification by majority vote in three-fourths (at least 38) of all state legislatures. It will certainly face steep opposition by the minority party in any state where the governor is a member of that minority party.
But--who knows? It's certainly a good (and probably popular) idea, and at the very least, it will raise consciousness of the issue at the state level, and perhaps we'll get there in piecemeal fashion.
