Good luck with that, Hillary! You won't get 2/3 of each branch of Congress to pass the authorization and you won't get 3/4 of the states to ratify.

Alternatively, you won't get 2/3rds of the states to call for a Constitutional Convention.

Fail. Just like your campaign come November and your pathetic attempt to jail a guy who made a video for "egging on" the Benghazi attacks.

Quit being sexist.
Reality is very sexist.

The House will remain Republican. The Republicans may lose a few seats in the Senate, but the Democrats do not have a mathematical way to get to 2/3rds.

And even assuming that happens, how many complete state legislatures + governors are solely controlled by the Democrats right now?

This amendment is about as dead as any Republican attempt to define marriage solely between a man and a women via amendment. And that's with Republicans in control of both Houses and a good number of state apparatuses.

Red meat for the base's consumption. Nothing more, nothing less.
