I don't know why they even bother, have they seen the numbers in the senate or the guy in the white house. Or maybe these new congress members are idiots and don't understand how the government works.
There's at least the one. Maybe more.

My favorite example is abolishing the Electoral College. "Times change. The Founding Fathers were silly geese." Fact is the Electoral College is there because the Founding Fathers saw them coming.

Good luck getting 3/4 of the States governors to ratify that.
