The Constitution and our new Senate seats

Readers want to know,  how can California get its eight new Senate seats and maintain the state capital and legislature?  Simple, with the majority consent of the House.  Once the Senate issues 32 new Senate seats for the big states, then its job is done, according to the constitution.  However, what the large states do with their new Senators is subject to review by the House as interstate commerce is regulated.  California would get defacto recognition of its state capital by the House and continue as normal, except that it would elect a total of 10 senators.

The problem is mainly the oligarchs in Sacramento, not strong believers in democracy.
