The last Amendment is the 27th. It was finally ratified by the last state in 1992. It was first introduced in 1789. Have you even read the Constitution? That amendment took the longest for the states to ratify of all of the amendments. GWB had virtually nothing to do with it.

The 26th Amendment, the one before that, was enacted and ratified in 1971, and took the shortest time of 20th century amendments to become part of the Constitution.

Suppose it was proven the voting machines were hacked and Clinton should have won.
