It would be nice if we were truely a democracy and anytime the constition is to be changed it should be voted on by the American people not some shyster in congress.

The electoral congress is supposed to take the popular vote into consideration when placing their votes, but we have had presidents elected who didn't win the popular vote. When something like that is a possibility, what is the point? Can someone fully explain the role of the electoral congress to me that makes them so important that THEY not the people get to really choose the president? Rating: 5

I agree 100%. That would also get rid of the lobbyists influence.

Have a good one!:s4:
