Senate urged action on presidential election amendment
The piece notes that even with congressional approval a constitutional amendment for direct presidential election may fail to ratify. It recalls historic examples where amendments died in the states, including 1810 titles of nobility, 1861 slavery status, and 1924 child labor before related laws or court rulings ended pursuit. The author urges faster Senate action.
