Rep. Michele Bachmann took to Glenn Beck’s show on Fox yesterday, touting that she’d picked up 30 cosponsors for her constitutional amendment that would “prohibit the President from entering into a treaty or other international agreement that would provide for the United States to adopt as legal tender in the United States a currency issued by an entity other than the United States.” Beck’s response: “I can’t believe that you’ve only got 30 cosponsors…” Bachmann’s reply: “Maybe with your show today we’ll get a few more sponsors…”

Not quite: a day later, the amendment hasn’t gained another House supporter.

A new Rasmussen poll, unsurpringly, shows that a majority of Americans — 88 percent — say it’s “important for the dollar to remain the currency of the United States.” Of course replacing the dollar as the national currency has never been on the table. But rest assured: says pollster Scott Rasmussen, “If the idea got around that this meant replacing the currency in your wallet, then absolutely there would be support building for protecting the dollar.”
