From the supplier: The history of the Seventeenth Amendment and the operation of the Electoral College may be instructive to those considering the chances of enacting term limits in light of the US Supreme Court's ruling in U.S. Term Limits v. Thornton. While the Court rejected state efforts to impose qualifications on politicians seeking federal office, many electoral activities have diverged from constitutional mandate. The Electoral College delegates are not free to select a presidential candidate of their choice. States were electing US Senators for years before the Seventeenth Amendment was passed.
