....Hopefully we'll all get through the current plague and on to happier things. Boredom doesn't seem to bring out the best in me. Don't be so tough on yourself, no particular research on it, but I think you've used less swear words during this terble time. I think we can both agree that hunkering in a basement brings out the best in joe. I doubt any of us have enough cringe capacity to follow stutter(wink) joe on a real campaign trail, eh?

Surely you see that your argument about experience and elections being the chance to set a term limit would apply equally as well to the Presidency?
Here in Illinois, Mike Madigan has been Speaker of the House for 35 of the last 37 years. He is the longest serving leader of any state or federal legislative body in the history of the United States. He is the real power in the State of Illinois. Not the Governor.
Have we benefited from his experience? Not by a long shot. Illinois is by many accounts the most corrupt and poorly run state in the Union. We have massive debt and the highest combined tax burden in the US. But Mr. Madigan gets re-elected time after time. Because he has the support of the trial lawyers and the public employee unions, which he garners by making sure the legislature doles out favors to those groups. This is the result that a lack of term limits leads to.
Nothing the government gives you is free.

Good God! Thought this forum was about double guns! Nope. But, where else are you going to discover Nova Scotia is equivalent to hell? There have been cool motorcycles pictures for the past few weeks, too. Best, Ted ________________________________________________ If King is the tour guide, he has a gig for sure in the afterlife.

[quote=rocky mtn bill]Goillini, You got me wrong. I don't question the outcome under present law. I do want the law changed; I can't see why the popular vote is OK for every office in the land other than president. I understand the original intent. I just don't think it makes sense today.
Why doesnt it make sense today?
I for one , wouldnt want to live in a country ruled by New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Rocky Mountain bill
