Howard Dean Calls for Direct Election of the President — No Comments

  1. Better very late than never from a top party hack.

    Uniform definition of Elector in ALL of the U.S.A.

    NONPARTISAN nomination and election of all elected executive officers and all judges — using Approval Voting – vote for 1 or more, highest win — pending advanced head to head math.

    I.E. voting YES or NO on each candidate (as for ballot questions) — party hack or independent posing as being nonpartisan.

    The natural born stuff has reference to ALLEGIANCE to a regime — see Blackstone’s Commentaries (1760s).

  2. Art. II, Sec. 1 — errata

    various other E.C. parts affected – 12th Amdt, !4 Amdt Sec. 2, etc.
