Every president in my lifetime has won a majority of the electors in the electoral college. The claim that this is minority rule is false. Trump won thirty states. That is a majority. He won 306 electoral votes. That is a majority.
Which is evidence of a lousy lawyer. He broke no law as incoming national security adviser by contacting officials from any country. Biden appointees have been doing the same since mid-November.
I consider the constitution to be the highest governmental bar in human history. From there, the people through their states determine who should fill the position. And remarkably, considering his obnoxious personality, he did a very good job.
No they didn’t. It was created by the people.
My county has more residents than seven or eight individual states, so using states as some sort of benchmark doesn’t prove anything. If anything it proves the point of the article about minority rule.
Once again, totally understood and the point of the article. Minority rule. People. Minority of people.
Through the states. That process is now codified in Article V. We don’t have a national plebiscite for anything. That’s a good thing.
My argument is not the argument of Democrats.
That’s totally false, it will not be decided until January 6th. Congress needs to certify it. False.
States are the only benchmark, because the states choose the president through the electoral college. They are called states for a reason, that reason being we are a federation of states. They aren’t provinces created by an all powerful central government.
It is possible that a minors of states could decide a president, but again, it would be a majority of electors.
We do not elect a president by a direct plebiscite. The national plebiscite is irrelevant.
While the Congress has that requirement and obligation, for them to overturn the electoral college, which is where the people through their states have spoken, would be a monumental constitutional crisis.
I’ll go right ahead and defer to the courts on evidentiary discovery. Let me know when a court finds this audit credible.
Then your professor was dishonest with you. It boils down to the states deciding the president. Because we are a constitutional representative republic.
People don’t elect the president, so no, it has nothing to do with numbers of people. The states elect the president. As I mentioned to Bill, there is no provision anywhere in the constitution for any plebiscite. That is codified in Article V. In fact, the states can completely dismantle the general government if they choose to. Because the states set the constitution up
But one party has more to gain by keeping it, and another has more to gain by ditching it, right?
And that can cycle between the parties.
Parties don’t choose the president. States do.
Right now? It appears to favor Republicans. Wait ten years. It could change
Hey, thanks.
