What H.R. 1 would do and why it is even possible Dr. Tamzin A. Rosenwasser AAPS Arlington, Va. House Resolution 1 is the first bill proposed by the newly installed majority to disenfranchise all who would oppose their radical programs, so that they can retain power forever, no matter how many ordinary Americans are destroyed. H.R.1 would not be a threat, nor would it even be conceivable that it would be proposed, were it not for the 17th Amendment. The 17th Amendment should never have been passed, and should be revoked. The 17th Amendment destabilized these United States, which is why Democrats love it, and it was deceptively promoted by “progressives.” To his credit, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) has called for it to be revoked.
