Received a few negative feedback comments on my "bragging" about my son's accomplishments. I just blocked them, I don't need that negativity.
Also-yes I am bragging.

First, you need to get supermajorities in Congress, two-thirds in both the House and Senate. That's an enormous hurdle, especially in the Senate. Even if you get it through Congress, you still need to get your amendment ratified by three-fourths of the states. That's 38 states.
