As we’ve been told, “He got elected fair and square; so live with it.” As it happens, on one particular day in November of 2016, in just an instant of time, Trump managed to get enough Electoral College votes to become President of the United States. Had the election been held a day earlier, or a little later, the outcome could have been very different.

In short, it was the opinion of voters on just one day that determines our president for the next 1450 days, What happens if we discover that the president we have just elected is mentally unstable? The president can be impeached or perhaps the majority of his cabinet will certify that he is incompetent to carry out his duties. Failing these remedies, it seems that we are stuck with what we got until the next scheduled election. Bummer!

 In the case of the incumbent, he lost the popular vote by about three million votes. Then he insisted that this was because illegal immigrants flooded to the polls to support his opponent. There is no evidence for this,

A possibility is to have a “re-affirm vote” six months after the new president is worn in. We assume the new president is simply trying out for the job for the first six months he is on duty, If he as done a good job then he can be  re-affirmed; if he hasn’t then someone else can try the job.

The presidency is an enormously complicated job. What are the requirements? You have to be born in this country at least 35 years ago and lived her for fourteen years..  You needn’t be able to read or write; you can be a member of the flat earth society,if you get enough Electoral College vote you will become president. That’s  ridiculous.

When the constitution was written that might have been enough; It isn’t anymore. In most states the requirement to carry a pistol are more stringent than the requirement to control this country’s nuclear arsenal. The incumbent has actually asked several times why we can’t use nuclear weapons if we have them.
