JEQ....thats what I was afraid of.
If it were to be ratified tomorrow, we would have a House of 6,000 members.
I think you will need to be far more flexible (maybe 1 per 500,000)to generate wide spread support (and my support)....or it aint gonna happen. But thats just my opinion
But as an aside, I can see some state legislators voting for your amendment for self-serving reasons....particularly those in (most) states with part-time legislatures and very low pay......career advancement!
