Correcting a Big Mistake
America has slipped into a disaster
The disaster is Donald Trump, President of the United States. His presidency is a mistake for many reasons:
- Both major political parties produced highly flawed and deficient candidates.
- Neither party vetted candidates properly and lack standards and a process for doing that.
- Political parties should be liable for the quality of their candidates with assurance for their qualifications and certifications, as well as their mental and physical condition.
- Some people might say that Bernie Sanders was better than Hillary Clinton. That is false because his resume is a failure too for different reasons that I describe in my book, How to Select an American President by James A. George and James A. Rodger (c) 2017 Archway Publishing.
Because most Americans are not engaged in managing their government as required in a democratic republic, the possibility for disastrous outcomes are real in every aspect: Selecting Members of the US House of Representatives, Selecting Senators, and Presidents.
The Constitutional process is flawed by omissions. Permitting a president to select a vice president is arbitrary and undercuts voters. Voters should elect Vice Presidents just as they do Presidents. That approach is used by many states where Governors and their Lieutenants are elected separately.
Standards for political parties governing their role and tasks in the process must be defined. Guidance for how elected officials are evaluated needs improvement.
The trouble before America today is that the incumbent President is grossly unfit. The US Congress is corrupted by monied influence and conflicted motivations. The corrupt system seeks to advance by choosing judges that will side with corruption.
Therefore, the solution is to impeach and prosecute the incumbent. Reset the government to before the Trump presidency. Purge the executive branch. Purge corrupted representatives. Address Constitutional deficiencies and regulations that undermined equality and the principle of one person one vote.
It is taking too long to correct the mistake. The consequences will be felt for generations. America has dug a deep hole from which to climb to recover.
As an independent journalist, I confronted Senator McConnell at the American Enterprise Institute about these issues. His reply was, “Equality, I see what you mean. That would require new legislation.”
