Never happen. If it got enough support from the people, it would make it to the supreme court and be blocked

The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States

The supreme court would have to get pretty fucking bold to weigh in on this as it is a clearly defined power of congress.

Then again its not like there are any fucking checks on power of the supreme court anymore as 2/3's of congress is required for fucking anything, which will never fucking happen on any topic ever again.

I keep saying it: they need to abolish the size limit of the House. It's been frozen for 100 years while the US population has exploded. The result has been less representation for urban areas and more for rural, both in Congress and when deciding president via the electoral college. You actually normalize it so everyone's voice is heard equally? Congressional gridlock goes away. "Stolen" elections go away.
