or should it be up to the voters?

Thought so. Thanks for playing.

1. RFK would have been a great president.
For me, that ends the debate.

2. If the voters are too stupid to think anyone outside of two families...
.......can be good leaders, they get what they deserve.

Is that the answer you were looking for?

3. But when the votes the voters are casting are changed, there is no
real vote, is there?

Is there much question that Bush stole the 2004 election? And we all know his daddy's cronies on the Supreme Court placed him in office in 2000.

As long as a vote of the people truly is a vote of the people, this would not be an issue. But with election fraud, one doesn't really know, does one?

12. No!
The Constitution limits the Presidency to natural born citizens 35 years and older who have not previously held 2 terms as President. I think those limits are good enough.
