We might as well get rid of the U.S House of Representatives as well then.
What they vote on may not be what the majority of people want.  Big states
could force legislation through that the rest of the states wouldn't want.
Of course, then we should get rid of the U.S. Senate too since the little
states can really gang up on the big states.

Hmm..why not have a referrendum for each and every decision?  Popular vote
carries all.

There is a reason our founding fathers did what they did.  We have the
longest existing constitution ever.  It must be working.

For those people who point out that Bush didn't win the majority of the
vote, bear in mind that he got more majority then Clinton did in 96.

        1.  The winner is kind of a lame duck before he even starts his
term.

        2.  It is a shame that the one with the largest popular vote does
not get
             "elected".  Our "wonderful" politicians should have  fixed that
a long time

             ago.

        3. I don't think much of either candidate.  They both are where they
are largely
        due
            to their father's accomplishments, not their own.

        4.  With the political split in Congress and between Congress and
the Executive
        branch, not much
              will get done anyway,  which is all to the good.
