Keyes Wants to End Election of Senators
Aug 13, 9:32 PM (ET)
By MIKE ROBINSON
CHICAGO (AP) - Alan Keyes said Friday he would like to end the system
under which the people elect U.S. senators and return to pre-1913
practice in which senators were chosen by state legislatures.
The Republican Senate candidate in Illinois, asked about past
comments on the election process, said the constitutional amendment
that provided for popular election of senators upset the balance
between the people and the states.
The balance is utterly destroyed when the senators are directly
elected because the state government as such no longer plays any role
in the deliberations at the federal level, Keyes said at a taping of
WBBM Newsradio's At Issue program.
He said it was one of the reasons there has been a steady
deleterious erosion of the sovereign role of the states.
Keyes' Democratic rival, state Sen. Barack Obama of Chicago, issued a
statement saying he supports popular election of U.S. senators.
I certainly trust the people of Illinois to choose who they want to
represent them in the U.S. Senate, he said. That is the very basis
of our democracy.
Keyes said he did not consider repealing the 17th Amendment a high
priority.
But if I ever see an opportunity in politics to promote it, I will,
he said.
