> Um, I never get into politics but a problem I have is that the American people didn't neccesarily vote Bush in. It is the electorial college that decides the president it's really not the voice of the people. Fondly, Phillipa
I asked my husband (since I am a legal resident alien) whether the party in power in the US could hold a vote of non-confidence in their party leader, as they can do in Canada. Then the ruling party can select another president (instead of the next of line in the chain of command stepping up). That would be just as bad in my book!
No such luck.
Wouldn't that be a breath of fresh air??
Maybe we can ask Canada to take over our government functions while we're in this current crisis and see if it works any better!!
disclaimer: please, don't tell me to go back where I came from. I pay taxes and don't claim unemployment or any benefits.
