The Republican (proto-fascist/socialist) 61st Constitutional Congress (elected in accordance with Article I, Section 3 [Clause 1]) passes House Joint Resolution number 39 proposing to the States an amendment to the Constitution for the united States calling for the election of Senators by popular vote.
NOTE: This resolution is null and void, as it was certified as having passed by Republican de facto Vice President James S. Sherman, in his capacity as President of the Senate. Sherman was the de jure President of the United states, as de facto Republican President Taft was ineligible, being a resident of the federal enclave of Ohio. The Constitution does not allow for the same individual to be both President of the united States and President of the Senate.
