Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the seventeenth article of amendment.

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would repeal the Seventeenth Amendment, which provides for the direct election of U.S. Senators by voters in each state. The amendment would take effect if ratified by conventions in three-fourths of the states within ten years after it is submitted for ratification. It states that the repeal would not affect the election or term of any Senator chosen before the amendment takes effect. Proposing the amendment requires approval by two-thirds of both the House and the Senate.
