[JUSTTHENEWS] Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Martha McSally of Arizona, Roger Wicker of Mississippi, Kelly Loeffler of Georgia, and Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi have put forward the proposal.
A constitutional amendment requires 2/3rds supermajorities in both Houses in order to pass. At the moment the Senate Republicans do not have a supermajority, and they are a minority in the House. So while there is no chance it will pass in this Congress, it does give President Trump something to throw at Joe Biden, and another arrow in the quiver of Republican candidates across the country. |
