Should we change the way we elect our President? First off, let me ask a question. Why should we even change the way things have always been? Why should we risk a way of electing our president just to risk a way to potentially have a huge loophole in the new way? I say this is worth the risk, because America needs change!

If this goes on, a President may be elected that doesn’t really know what they’re doing and mess up a lot of things. For example, the U.S.A.’s debt, starting wars we as America cannot finish, or even letting unfair or unconstitutional laws are passed. I believe if we change the way we elect our president in a sort of direct vote, it would be a very good way of election. This lets us, we the people, directly decide our president. It is a good alternative to do and I think the sooner we do this, the better our country will strengthen. If we do make this a new way to elect our president it would be a much better way, the President will be elected by popular vote!
