Amendments that failed

[Auld Phart]

Crazy Constitution amendment proposals that never made it into law

If some of the thousands of proposed amendments had been approved, life as we know it in America would change radically. Only 17 amendments have been added to the Constitution since 1791.

I like this one:

"And in 1933, U.S. Representative Wesley Lloyd, from Washington, proposed that excess income for millionaires making more than $1million per year be put toward lowering the national debt."

I LOVE this one:

A 2005 proposal - the Flag Desecration Amendment - came within one vote of passing Senate in 2006 after the House had approved it.

What's disturbing is that Amendment 18 did pass. It gave rise to all kinds of problems.
