| 29. That pesky Constitution, again. |

By the time we got such an amendment through, IF we ever did, the new president and VP would be in office. And if we have, by some miracle, Dems in the WH the repukes would use the new amendment against them.
I wish we did have such a parliamentary system, but it would change the whole character of our government and would not fly.
