Correct, but it’s not necessary to actually change the constitution to implement legislating via video link.

That smug, no clue elitist Nancy Pelosi, that has done her part to destroy the beautiful state of California needs to pack her bags and never show her face in or around Washington again. Shameful wolf in sheep's clothing.
