Why are there so many pessimists on this site?

You have no basis for making a statement with the absolute negative certainty that you did, "not a chance", without a reason.

Why is that?

“You have no basis for making a statement with the absolute negative certainty that you did, “not a chance”, without a reason. Why is that?”

Because there are not enough legislatures who would do what you suggest. Throw it to the HoR? Trump would never get a majority of states to re-elect him. Politicians are the most selfish of human creatures, and — with the rarest of exceptions — they will always put themselves and their own interests ahead of their constituents. Just think: Why do so many barely-sentient miscreants fight like hell to get elected to public office? For one simple reason: They seek to enrich themselves at the public’s expense.

Mark Twain had it right: “It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.” I posit that Twain was only partially right, because his criticism would apply to politicians in general.
