Failure to provide a senator is a STATE not a federal problem. Let states empower governors, if they wish, to appoint an interim senator, much as many do now, until the legislature makes up its mind.

I think that any repeal of the 17th Amendment should be part of a broader restructuring of government at all levels. This includes increasing the size of the House of Representatives from its current 435 members to 5,000 or 6,000. One might ask how more politicians will get us smaller government. Keep in mind that if only one person is in charge that is a dictatorship, and that is the biggest government of all. More House members means smaller districts and fewer votes needed for election, and therefore fewer campaign funds needed. A candidate could win an election running a low budget, grassroots, retail campaign. And they would not meet in session in one place, but rather at several sites connected through videoconferencing.
