He is the president of the States, not the people, and thus he is elected by the states.
The Constitution of the United States in no way gives you the right to vote for President. It says the states shall appoint electors, and the state legislature has the sole authority to determine how the electors from that state are chosen. The Constitution only protects the right to vote if the state should hold a vote; the state legislature could remove the election completely and appoint electors, if that is what they wanted to do. That is a complete change in the underlying system of government; it would require changes to both the federal system and the state systems. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 11:14 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Not anti-suv but.... > > Good luck. it would take a constitutional amendment, and those don't come > easy. > > Now when you talk about the technological possibilities I get super > scared. > There is just way to much of a chance at fraud and misuse. > > Also as a republic and NOT a democracy things were never supposed to be > one > man one vote, it's supposed to be a representative form of government. > > I know there are definitely improvements that need to be made, I mean hell > it is over 200 years old, but I still think the US constitution is about > the > best around :) > > Tim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
