It's a low-effort feelgood exercise. It only takes one congressman to introduce a proposed amendment. There are dozens of frivolous proposed amendments every year that go nowhere. Stallone joked about the Schwarzenegger Amendment and the Humperdinck administration in Demolition Man (1993) and the actual Arnold Amendment was introduced in 2003 (it died without ever being voted on).

- kjs3 2y agoExactly. Expect Rep. Ogles to beat the fact he "supported Trump" like a drum whenever he's pandering to his constituents. Anyone who points out the obvious "that'll never fly" will be ruthlessly excoriated as "anti-Trump" and "the enemy" (or some such euphemism). Thanks for the Demolition Man reference; that's perfect and I'd forgotten about it.
