Why would anyone in their right mind want to be President of the U.S.?.....unless they’re just looking for the perks - a la Zer0.
I think most candidates are in it for the perks, power and prestige, even though the prestige isn't what it used to be thanks to Obama.
But I think that some one in their right mind would want to be president if they were absolutely committed to changing the course of this country, of using the bully pulpit and all their Constitutional powers to restore the American values of liberty, limited government and free markets.
I agree. In times of peace, for example, almost the only constitutionally delegated power that the feds have to regulate intrastate commerce is to deliver the mail, evidenced by Clause 7 of Section 8 of Article I.
Mostly everything else the feds do in a state these days is based on state powers which the corrupt feds have wrongly taken from the states.
