On one hand I hope it's true

large if correct

Well there's different layers to it @Agamemnon's Death Mask

The House represents interests of the people in the Federal Government. The Senate was originally designed to represent the interest of the States in Executive authorities but got turned into another set of popular reps with the 17th amendment. The Governors are active directors of the sovereignty of their states, which the President as Chief of the Federal State is to operate in tandem with.....until the 14th was passed and then it was top-down binding the union together

On the other it is still the death penalty for someone's sexual orientation, when it's not hurting someone. But they are furries.

17th amendment was a mistake

If furries identify as animals is it wrong if you use the meat to feed the poor?

14th and 17th were mistakes

@DanConway A modest proposal, some would say

everything after 10...

They could have given slave children and natives citizenship via law

and 13 fine....

Eh the 22nd is fine

@Legiondude This is why I'm against making the House of Lords an elected house in the UK, because having two elected bodies just fucks the system up

Basically

We modeled our congress off the uk system. The senate was supposed to be essentially our house of lords

Also isnt a title like lord given? How do you vote that shit?

Lords was a mistake.

You don't, that's the problem

There's an entire house of the UK government that is predominantly unaccountable

Senate used to be by appointment of the state

But making it elected wouldn't be any better

I know. But how do they propose to vote that?

From the state legislatures no less

much superior method

and confirmed by the governor?

Yes

Well actually reverse

Governor appointed. State legeslature approved

ah ok had it backward

Like a cabinet position

Still superior

it makes sense

The idea of the House of Lords is good - experts in their field appointed to provide their expertise

Partly why states still have govs appoint the replacements

almost like it was a system of checks and balances...

Plus religious leaders

Even if its via title the house of lords represent the landowners (states of uk)

Not in the slightest

You have to remember back when it was made

Lords were the landowners

It changed sense then
