My first thought was to amend the Constitution to allow Howard to become our president and have the congresslady from florida be VP.

What is it about our country that draws the worst of our society to politics?

That is an excellent question. There are really no statesmen (ok, very few, I can't name one but someone probably can) anymore. It is all about power/money/self now. I don't think it was at first, clearly our founding fathers were thinking past their own benefit.

Greed. Even when we attempt something positive like term limits, it seems to backfire. In the last year as a "lame duck," many state legislators are trying to sell their souls for a lobbying gig.

I think its funny that Australia was founded by criminals, yet they know how to preserve their values as is obviously shown here. Whereas we were founded by Puritans, and look at the moral decay that the modern Dems call "progress"
