Texas HCR69 expresses support for the repeal of the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Texas HCR69 is a resolution expressing support for the repeal of the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The resolution argues that the 17th Amendment, ratified in 1913, has diminished the rights of states and shifted the balance of power away from the states in favor of the national government. It asserts that the amendment has undermined the Senate's role in safeguarding state prerogatives and disfiguring federalism. The resolution calls for restoring the original constitutional design where federal senators serve the best interests of the State of Texas.
