Abolishing? The blunt facts....it requires a constitutional amendment under Article V of the U.S. Constitution.
The Amendment process (Article V)?
Only 2 ways:
Congressional proposal route: A two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate, then ratification by three-fourths of the states (38 of 50).
Constitutional convention route: Applications from two-thirds of the state legislatures (currently 34), then the same three-fourths state ratification requirement. This method has never been used to propose an amendment that was ratified.
Odds? ZERO.
Dem's talk a lot over this....but they don't have the two-thirds vote, and currently (by my count)....they might only have ratification by states in the 15-to-20 number.
BS? Maximum BS.
