Flash: Bush proposes Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage

On Tuesday, George W. Bush officially endorsed a Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage. It seems unlikely that this amendment will pass, as already several Republicans have indicated their opposition, and Democratic opposition is solid.

The President shall forthwith be chosen by direct election of the People.
