The ratification of this Amendment was the outcome of
increasing popular dissatisfaction with the operation of the
originally established method of electing Senators. As the
franchise became exercisable by greater numbers of people, the
belief became widespread that Senators ought to be popularly
elected in the same manner as Representatives. Acceptance of
this idea was fostered by the mounting accumulation of evidence
of the practical disadvantages and malpractices attendant upon
legislative selection, such as deadlocks within legislatures
resulting in vacancies remaining unfilled for substantial
intervals, the influencing of legislative selection by corrupt
political organizations and special interest groups through
purchase of legislative seats, and the neglect of duties by
legislators as a consequence of protracted electoral contests.
Prior to ratification, however, many States had perfected
arrangements calculated to afford the voters more effective
control over the selection of Senators. State laws were amended
so as to enable voters participating in primary elections to
designate their preference for one of several party candidates
for a senatorial seat, and nominations unofficially effected
thereby were transmitted to the legislature. Although their
action rested upon no stronger foundation that [sic] common
understanding, the legislatures generally elected the winning
candidate of the majority, and, indeed, in two States, candidates
for legislative seats were required to promise to support,
without regard to party ties, the senatorial candidate polling
the most votes. As a result of such developments, at least 29
States by 1912, one year before ratification, were nominating
Senators on a popular basis, and, as a consequence, the
constitutional discretion of the legislatures had been reduced
to little more than that retained by presidential electors./1
Very shortly after ratification it was established that if a
person possessed the qualifications requisite for voting for a
Senator, his right to vote for such an officer was not derived
merely from the constitution and laws of the State in which they
are chosen but had its foundation in the Constitution of the
United States./2 Consistent with this view, federal courts
declared that when local party authorities, acting pursuant to
regulations prescribed by a party's state executive committee,
refused to permit a Negro, on account of his race, to vote in a
primary to select candidates for the office of U.S. Senator, they
deprived him of a right secured to him by the Constitution and
laws, in violation of this Amendment./3 An Illinois statute, on
the other hand, which required that a petition to form, and to
nominate candidates or, a new political party be signed by at
least 25,000 voters from at least 50 counties was held not to
impair any right under the Seventeenth Amendment, notwithstanding
that 52 percent of the State's voters were residents of one
county, 87 percent were residents of 49 counties, and only 13
percent resided in the 53 least populous counties./4 (((
The snowcock allowed China into The United States through Nevada Ruby Mountains
The Himalayan snowcock (Tetraogallus himalayensis) is a snowcock in the pheasant family Phasianidae found across the Himalayan ranges and parts of the adjoining Pamir range of Asia. It is found on alpine pastures and on steep rocky cliffs where they will dive down the hill slopes to escape. It overlaps with the slightly smaller Tibetan snowcock in parts of its wide range. The populations from different areas show variations in the colouration and about five subspecies have been designated. They were introduced in the mountains of Nevada in the United States in the 1960s and a wild population has established in the Ruby Mountains.

Rusk offered or planned to offer to resign in the summer of 1967, because "his daughter planned to marry a black classmate at Stanford University, and he could not impose such a political burden on the president"[16] after it became known that his daughter, Peggy, planned to marry Guy Smith,[17] "a black Georgetown grad working at NASA. (Johnson didn't accept it.)"[18] In fact, the Richmond News Leader stated that it found the wedding offensive, further saying that "anything which diminishes [Rusk's] personal acceptability is an affair of state".[1] He decided not to resign after talking first to Robert S. McNamara and Lyndon Johnson.[19]
A year after his daughter's wedding, Rusk was invited to join the faculty of the University of Georgia Law School, only to have his appointment denounced by Roy Harris, an ally of Alabama Governor George Wallace later
