Good luck with Al ol’ boy! Just win a supermajority in the House and Senate and get 2/3 of the states legislatures (many red states included) to sign on, and presto!

Those 3 million Illegals voting in California along with all the college kids voting both at home and at school would easily throw the election to a liberal. Americans rejected Hitlery.

Do away with the Electoral College and after one election there would be no need for any more elections.

Big clown shoes to fill there.

Ex-presidents are usually known for their quiet dignity after leaving office, Carter being a prominent exception.

Ex-Vice Presidents... no one ever hears from them or remembers them.
