Deadline:
Barbara Boxer is retiring at the end of the current term, but that isn’t stopping her from introducing one last big bill. California’s junior U.S. senator will introduce long-shot legislation today to abolish the Electoral College, which would leave the choosing of a president to the popular vote.
good luck with that.Boxer’s legislation would require a 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution — the first since 1992, the year before she took office. Three-fourths of the states would need to ratify the bill within seven years after its passage in Congress.
