The Electoral College

The Electoral College is 538 popular elected representatives who select the President and the Vice president of the USA. It's strengths are that it contributes to the political stability of the nation by encouraging a two-party system, and it maintains a federal system of government and representation. It's weeknessess are that that the possibility of electing a minority president is most common as well as its failure to accurately reflect the national popular will.

I think that the electoral college is such a stupid idea. Who would think of that? I just don't like the fact that some of the states like California or Texas have more electoral votes than other states. Every state should have the same amount of electoral votes, like an even number, like the number 2. Then they should count it all together and say who the president of the United States of America is. I don't think we should still have it. I feel like it doesn't really matter if you vote or not. They should add all the votes up to find out which candidate has the most votes and that person should win the election and become the president of the United States.

Mayor Bloomberg and Term Limits

My opinion on this issue is that I don't think that it's such a good idea because many old mayors might want to run again. I believe that we should leave the constitution as is. He could leave an idea for the next mayor to work on. I think that Bloomberg should just finish his term and get off the stand! I want to see if the new mayor could be as good as the other mayors.
