over the last few decades the country has become so polarized its not going to happen any time soon . last one was in 1992 more than 28 years ago and was not controversial, it was about forbiding congress to change their salaries in the middle of an existing congress. Incidentally, it was proposed in 1789... we had quite a few passed in the 60's and 7o's .

All that was before internet and right wing radio/tv . Nowadays I cant imagine any way to get there. We no longer have reasonable politicians .
