Senate Democrats Push to Abolish Electoral College—But Is It Even Constitutional?

The United States Constitution is the best-written document in the world for governing the nation. It outlines all the actions that the national government may take on our behalf and every role, requirement, and responsibility of each elected official.

 

This is what most electors do, except for “faithless electors”. Most electors vote in favor of the candidate who won the state elections, except for the “faithless voter “.

 

Our elected representatives swear to uphold the Constitution, which defines their roles. We wouldn’t be dealing with this kind of egregious idiotic behavior.

 

 

You don’t know where to begin. Let’s start at the beginning.

 

In Section 1 of Article II, the Constitution says:

 

The executive power is held by the President of America. Both the President and the Vice-President are elected for four-year terms.

 

The legislature of each state may order the appointment of an equivalent number of electors to the number of senators or representatives that the State is entitled to. No Senator, Representative, or Person in a position or profit of the United States may be appointed an elector.

 

The electors will vote in their state for at least two people, one of whom must not be from the same state.

 

The electors are chosen first, and then the president is elected. If we didn’t do this, the outcome would be determined by just a few big cities.

 

 

The “Senate Democrats” do not understand that they cannot just pass a bill to eliminate the system. To do this, a constitutional amendment would be required, which requires a vote by two-thirds of both the House and Senate, followed by the ratification of 3/4 of all 50 states – 33 of them. Best of luck.

 

Article 4, Section 4 states:

 

The United States guarantees each state of the Union a Republican form of government and will protect them against invasion. The right of the state to ask for protection from domestic violence is also granted by the executive or legislature (in case the Legislature cannot convene).

 

Also, “restore” means “to return to a previous state”. “Since the Constitution was ratified, we have had an Electors System.

 

There’s no presidential election. No. Constitutionally, it’s not allowed. “Popular vote” is a statistical curiosity that can be interpreted as giving an incoming president a mandate. For example, Donald Trump’s 5 million-vote advantage over Kamala Harriman appears to have done.

 

Has a Democrat ever seen a Constitution? To draft and submit a bill of this nature is a form nitwittery. In a country where intelligent voters are present, such stupidity will be punished by vote shame in the next elections. Such ignorance could or should be disqualifying.
