Electoral college and 2 term limit

**Foxrac** · 05-10-2009, 08:18 AM

I just want share with opinions from US citizens about 2 questions.

Do you support electoral college? Just explain so why.

Do you support president to have 2 term limit?

For me, I'm going express my opinion about both of them.

I have mixed feeling with electoral college, small states are get more advantage of electoral college and had been since late 1700's. Electoral college could be tricky, for example, Al Gore won the popular vote but Bush won the electoral college then Bush is elected to be president because of counted in electoral college. I don't have much to against on electoral college because it has part of original system that how presidential election works.

For 2 term limit, of course, I'm support term limit for many reason because it does create more fair for presidents and prevent to being too power, FDR has won the 4 term but died during 4th term. I could imagine if there's no term limit then Bush could win the re-run so magically and would put us into deeper negative of our life, that how to imagine about what happened to 2004 election, additional, Bush has won the popular vote in 2004 election, If any president who make any mess or bad reputation then it wouldn't want them to re-run after 2nd term expire.

well, I am for electoral votes. you have to think about it. Farmers, who feed all these people in the city (you can't grow food in the city, and city people depend on farmers) , have the right to have their vote heard. The rural people can not speak for the city people, and the city people can not speak for farmers. They can only speak for themselves.

2 terms or 3.. well, it depends unless you don't mind Bush running for another term.

Bush has been officially worst president in history with 22% of approval rating.
