If this were to be enacted in the United States, it would likely be as a Constitutional amendment, in which case, Congress could not simply vote to reverse the decision.
- epochwolf 16y agoExcept that congress can reverse an amendment by passing a new one.
- astine 16y ago... Congress cannot pass amendments. Congress can however propose them with a two thirds majority. Then, if three-quarters of the states ratify it, it can go into effect. That's a very high bar to pass especially in the absence of political parties. I know that this is a judgmental thing to say but: This is civics 101. If you vote in the United States, you should know this.
- shasta 16y agoDon't forget that the courts can also amend the constitution, and it only requires a simple majority!
