Regardless of if it was a good idea they would need a large margin in order to pass the ammendment and given the rural statea it would be DOA from them alone, even those who might support it likely wouldn't consider it an important issue. There are /
way more important questions left unresolved in the constitution's text. I am all for at least planning a set od constitutional modernization proposals and mass vote while dreading what sorts of messed up things they would try to put in there and get passed. Especially if logical viability was a requirement.
- eru 6y agoI don't think you'd need to change the constitution. As far as I can tell the constitution only gives congress the power to interfere in mail, it doesn't impose an obligation to do so. > Section 8 > 1: The Congress shall have Power To [...] To establish Post Offices and post Roads; Similar to how the same section gives Congress the right to borrow or to impose tariffs and excise duties, but I don't think anyone would construe that as an obligation to borrow or a ban on free trading. I don't think there was any constitutional crisis when the national debt reached 0 during the Andrew Jackson administration?
