Expressing support for the repeal of the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

HCR 69 is a Texas legislative resolution expressing support for repealing the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The bill argues that this amendment, which established direct election of U.S. Senators by voters instead of state legislatures, weakened state sovereignty and disrupted the original constitutional balance of power between states and the federal government. It requests that Texas officials forward the resolution to federal leaders for inclusion in the Congressional Record as a formal memorial to Congress. As a concurrent resolution, it has no legal effect but formally states Texas's position on this constitutional issue.
