I can to do exactly that, any time, but then I'd have to work harder and longer hours to pay for the raise.

Wouldn’t that also require 2/3 majority of both houses before ratification could proceed?

The 17th Amendment was one of the worse things this country has done. The Senate was originally implemented to assure the states had representation in our government. That is why they were appointed by state legislators. Look how the federal government now steamrolls over the states, and we are stuck with corrupt lizards for decades.

A Constitutional Convention would take care of that problem.

Rey HRHFeinstein won’t retire because Pelosi won’t let her. If Feinstein resigns, Gov. Newsome will appoint her replacement and he has vowed to appoint a black woman congresswoman Lee. But Pelosi wants Schiff to get that senate seat. Since Gavin is related to Pelosi, I don’t know why she doesn’t tell him to appoint Schiff.
