Joint resolution to repeal the 17th amendment to the US constitution

This Montana joint resolution calls on Congress to propose repealing the 17th Amendment, which established direct popular election of U.S. senators (replacing the original system where state legislatures selected them). If enacted, the proposed amendment would require each state legislature to select and fund its U.S. senators, who would represent their state government rather than individual voters, with removal possible by a majority vote of the state legislature. The resolution is a symbolic request to Congress and does not change current election rules; it has no legal effect on how senators are selected today.
