Please submit your criticism of the following:
We modify the Constitution to supplant a unitary executive office with a plural one. Alexander Hamilton broached this subject over 200 years ago. You can read his argument in his essay known as Federalist Paper #70. If you detest 18th century style writing, then go to Wikipedia and read a synopsis. In short, a plural executive would replace one President of one party with two or more. For example, we could stipulate that every major party should be represented; so, we would vote for one Republican, one Democrat and one Independent. The primary election would replace the general election. Everyone wins and the whining stops. No more whining on the Wednesday after the Tuesday election. What is there to whine about? Your candidate is in the White House. With three in the executive office, power goes from one to three. The Democrat and the Republican will continue to war and the Independent will mediate the stalemate. I have elected brevity over detail because I merely testing sentiment, not making an urgent appeal.
I've already received criticism such as the following:
You idiot. You moron. Won't work. Must have funked Civics.
Thank you for your sincerity.
