What must we remove, what repudiate, and what must we install to be rid of these Enumerated Powers?

Supposing the right thing were attainable, what would it look like -- how would it differ.

What constraints are lifted when the enumerated powers are eliminated? 

What replacements will be necessary to fill the void left from this excision?

Subject: Amazing legal ingorance of

  Obama's defense in challenges to his candidacy -- and what I will do about the

  electoral college

Obama name on the ballot is

  challenged in Georgia.  Obama's lawyers respond with this

  argument:

 

  “Presidential electors and Congress, not the state of Georgia, hold the

  constitutional

  

  responsibility for determining the qualifications of presidential

  candidates."

 

However, the electors are chosen by these ballots.  The system --

  corrupted from the original intention of the Founding Fathers which was

  that that people would vote for electors and the  electors would

  convene the Electoral College and find themselves a President.  But the

  way the system is organized now, parties caucus and put up electors who

  are pre-committed to the party candidate  -- but it is the ballots

  in the primary that determines which candidate and thus which party and thus

  which electors will caste their locked-in votes.  Of course under this

  system the Obama defense makes no sense at all.   Congress has

  nothing to do with the electors decision.  And the electors have no power

  until they are selected as electors.  They are not Electors who go to the

  Electoral College until they are selected -- in the case of Georgia by

  ballot.   The electors have not say because they are only candidates

  to be electors.  They cannot rule on who gets into the primary ballot

  because no one becomes an elector for the electoral college until the election

  results are officially counted and registered.   The real authority

  is the counties of Georgia which individually have the right to determine who

  goes on their ballots.   The design is a bad one.  People have

  been pretending that it makes sense when it does not.  America should go

  back to the original design  -- the system under which Madison

  and Jefferson were elected.

 

Obama's lawyer offer a second

  argument:

 

  “The election of President Obama by the presidential electors, confirmed by

  Congress,

    makes the documents and testimony sought by plaintiff

  irrelevant."

 

What they are saying here is that once the Constitution has

  been violated once and the

violation has not been checked by authority upholding the

  Constitution, that the unconstitutional

act suddenly becomes above challenge.  Yet we know that

  Nancy Pelosi signed the confirmation

of Obama's qualification when in fact it was not

  true.

 

Only a Harvard or Philadelphia lawyer would attempt to argue

  out of that one.

 

But I was born in Philadelphia, and I am running for

  President -- and the electoral system makes no allowance for a write-in

  candidate like me  - because a write-in can win but zero electors come

  with him.  It isn't said, but the political parties are a duopoly that

  controls the supply of electors.

 

If, somehow, I am President on January 20, 1913 I sure as

  heck am going to use the President's power to lead in  legislation

  get the original system restored in better form through a constitutional

  amendment.  It can't be done by executive order or under martial law --

  but the president has power to cooperate or not cooperate with

  Congress.

 

If I am president I will suspend Congress by martial law,

  until my executive orders are completed and the necessary institutional

  changes are in place and begin operating.  Then Congress will be called

  by me -- and will be instructed to draft their own legislation creating their

  own version of each component of each of my reforms and passing them -- until

  my emergency measures to change the course to what the people want, can be

  adopted throught acts of Congress.

 

That's my plan.
