Introduced on January 11th and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, the resolution proposes an “amendment to the Constitution of the United States to abolish the electoral college and to provide for the direct election of the President and Vice President of the United States.”


Authors of the bill include Rep. Cohen, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Rep. Julia Brownley, Peter DeFazio, Rep. Adriano Espaillat, Rep. John Garamendi, and Rep. Jim Cooper.

Before revealing what the constitutional amendment would look like, the bill rebukes the electoral college as created in “an era of limited nationwide communication and information sharing” and resting on “an antiquated theory that citizens will have a better chance of knowing about electors from their home States than about Presidential candidates from out of State”

Over the history of our country, there have been at least 700 proposed amendments to modify or abolish the Electoral College. The odds are pretty good that this one is going nowhere

What opponents of the Electoral College should consider is that it's existence makes it almost impossible for a presidential election to rigged as Trump claimed. Popular votes are far easier to steal than electoral votes.

And they wonder why January 6th happened.

Because you loons were lied to deliberately by a charlatan, but believed him anyway. Funniest thing of all? Deep down, the Orange Clown knows he lost, but he's playing you like Nero played the fiddle...

I'm talking about the much bigger picture.
There's a lot of people out there that are sick of liberals trying to destroy all of the foundations of this country, and the electoral college is one of them.

Yeah, there is that aspect from your POV. They see it as progress. I know progressive is a dirty work among cons, but without progressives you'd still be walking to work, eating food over an open fire and catching your own food. You may think that's not a bad thing. Then again, without progress, neither of us would be on the internet, have a car, or a phone, or a television. <shrug>

In two weeks they will introduce a bill to abolish the Constitution.

That would take another Amendment.

Only if they follow the Constitution. They don’t need to bother with it anymore.

 

[OKTexas]

So what? A Constitutional Amendment requires 2/3 of each chamber to vote in favor as well as 2/3 of states to ratify, so the likelihood of it getting anywhere are slim to none.

Wrong, it takes 3/4ths of the States to ratify. It would only take 14 States to kill it, I can think of more than 20 that would say, not no, but hell no!

In two weeks they will introduce a bill to abolish the Constitution.

We can only hope, that would abolish the Union and the Federal Government.

Keeeerist, Biden isn't even inaugurated yet and the DEMs are already in full demolition mode. I don't know who is worse for America, the CCP or the DEMS.

Like there's a difference.

You’ve brought the most important point on this whole subject.

on the other hand, it’s really entertaining to watch those who are going ballistic.

-------------------- and?

Are you pissed that the article doesn't mention the main purpose ---- Slavery?

Slavery is largely illegal globally because white people ended it, although it still exists it black and brown countries.

Actually slave people ended it.

And it's been illegal here for 155 years, and it was the main impetus for even having the Electoral College.

You'll note that the other, secondary reason articulated above is also way out of date. In the 18th century internet, television, radio, even telegraph didn't exist yet. Traversing the length of the then-country would be a horse-drawn excursion over nonexistent "roads" that would take weeks if not months, meaning few ever did it, and a citizen in, say New Hampshire would know little about candidates from say Georgia That's all changed since then.

The third tertiary reason for the EC was to insert a proxy so that some demagogue charlatan couldn't hoodwink the population into a frenzy. That too has been rendered impotent by so-called "faithless elector" laws which prescribe who electors MUST vote for, and of course the corrupt "winner take all" (WTA) system, which James Madison himself wanted banned even then.

In other words every single reason the Electrical College ever had to exist, has been switched off. LONG ago.

But yanno what, let's just keep running the same system. Because no reasons.

Once again not everyone shares in your liberal ideology

It worked out pretty well, till they joined the union. TX is the only State that had their own president prior to statehood.

Meh. That Bill is going nowhere, so says Joe Manchin.

What makes you think this will be a strictly partisan vote? 15 states and DC have signed on to the National Popular Vote, so there's clearly some interest in the idea.

Jaysus, how many times do you guys have to be told that Trump lost and the Dems now control the Senate. Sheesh....Even your military (for the first time in modern memory) is giving it to Trump.
You loons are on your own.

Fifth Republican turns on Trump ahead of impeachment

The US House of Representatives is now considering the article of impeachment against President Donald Trump, with a vote to follow later today.

www.news.com.au

"Meanwhile, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the group of the most senior uniformed leaders at the Pentagon, have condemned the riot at the Capitol as a “direct assault” on Congress and the constitutional process.

The statement – issued to the entire U.S. military – is extraordinary because the chiefs usually stay out of politics, and they are essentially asking to them to go against the president’s rhetoric and uphold democracy in the United States."

Democrats don’t control the Senate.... Joe Manchin controls the Senate. The Senate is his bitch until Democrats can get a Republican to flip.
