23. No Amendment needed

Fri Jun 28, 2019, 09:42 AM

Jun 2019

My suggestion is permitted under the Constitution as it stands.

Article 2 Section 1
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
(emphasis added)

The popular vote for President is, Constitutionally, meaningless.
