When the American People have lost confidence in an administration, should there be a way to demand a recall?

Question

Should there be a way to popularly demand that an election be held?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Had the American people the desire to do so they could have. Had we the ability to recall the government then the US would not have made it passed the whiskey rebellion during George Washington's administration. The south would still have legalized slavery. To change governments when ever one loses popularity is not good. Somethings take hard work to get through, and some people do not have the moral strength to see things through that they started.

Answer 3

Bush's ideas on foreign policy may not have made him very popular but that doesn't mean he should be recalled. After all, Clinton's impeachment didn't work and as far as I am concerned his questionable morals made him a much worse president.

Answer 4

No. To do so would result in a poll-driven government as well as the fractured governments seen in Italy and elsewhere in Europe.

Answer 5

yep, it happens every 2, 4 and 6 Years!
2 for House of Rep
4 for Pres
6 for Senate

Answer 6

Yeah um lets make a law that if your approval rating drops below 20% by a bunch of diff polls you get Ejected from office or something. If you cant even please 20%+ of the population you sir are GW BUSH.

Answer 7

who says the people have lost confidence in the administration. I think thats a matter of opinion.

Answer 8

NO - that is one way to ensure no government ever takes unpopular or difficult decisions.

Answer 9

I second the opinion of magpiesnm.
