Should the President be Impeached for being an UN-AMERICAN Idiot?

2007-04-07 05:24:05 · 24 answers · asked by Anonymous

Many of us know that the constitution states that to run for president, one needs to be at least a 35 year-old person who was born in the US and has lived here for at least 14 years. So, if you were born in, let's say, Canada, and moved to the US when you were one year old, you can't run for president, regardless of if you lived in the United States for the rest of your life. Is the policy that you have to be born in the United States to run for president fair? Should we amend the constitution?

I think the participative (direct) democracy is better than representative democracy。
In a country with a representative democracy the people interests are represented by the members of the parliament they elected. But after the elections the people can not really control what their representatives do.
But in a country as Switzerland, where there is participative democracy since 19th century, the people can purpose laws that can be voted by referendum. And if they don't like a law voted by the parliament they can purpose a better law to be voted by a referendum.
Also, in a participative democracy there is less room for coruption, because the people can check how are spent the money they paid for taxes to the state.
You can find more about participative democracy (named also direct democracy) by searching in www.yahoo.com for "participative democracy" or "direct democracy".
Also, see the below sites.
We can have a better life in a participative (direct) democracy.

I watched Loose Change on Google Video and the film makes a pretty good argument that we are all being fed a complete lie about the events of 9/11. Anyone who sees this film will question the official version, as I do now.

WASHINGTON –– While the Clinton administration was pressuring Colombia to stop human rights abuses, Rep. Dennis Hastert was telling the country's police and military leaders that rights concerns were overblown, a newly declassified government document says.

In a May 1997 visit to Colombia before becoming House speaker, Hastert "decried 'leftist-dominated'" U.S. Congresses of years past that "used human rights as an excuse to aid the left in other countries," according to a cable signed by then-Ambassador Myles Frechette.

Hastert "vowed that he was committed to correcting that situation," it said.

Hastert also encouraged Colombian military and police to bypass the White House and deal directly with Congress, the cable said.

Maybe this question will be pulled but I am not advocating civil disobedience, but surely this must be a means tested tax. Am I missing something. One thing I know for sure I am not nearly so well off (not rich or anything) as I was a few years ago.

The form of government wherein we elect representatives to make decisions for us may have worked fine back in the days when transportation and communications were limited - but that is no longer the case.
I think most people will agree that we can think and communcate quite well for ourselves.
What is a concern for us is that our elected representatives are not truly representing the will of the people. Instead they have too great a tendency to represent the will of the lobyists that are paid for by big business.
Our constitution directs that when tyranny and coruption become too great in our government it is our right and duty to take the country back and turn it back into the kind of nation that is a reflection of our greatest ideals.
And so the question is --- how can we begin the process of returning the true voting power of this nation back to the people. Too many national decisions are made that disregard the greater good of the country in favor of benefits for the rich.
