So the answer is no.
That is not how it works waldo and what is more i think you know that.

Otherwise we could not operate a modern country.... but of course there is not point getting into it, because you already know.. you just desperately want to protect Trump no matter the cost to you or the country.

For Trump supporters it is all about protecting trump...
One interesting stat is that Trump has 80% support from republicans and over 30% of republicans believe Trump committed crimes prior to being POTUS.....

so they support him despite believing he was or is involved in criminal activities
We must give trump credit for one thing.

He has fully exposed the hypocrisy of the GOP. There's no going back for them.

That's not how what works? We are a nation of laws. There are set rules and guidelines that one one must follow to become president. What Waldo stated is exactly how things work.

What MSNBC, CNN, HuffPost, etc poll did you get this from? The same pollers that had Hillary winning by a landslide? I were are all these Republicans who believe Trump committed a crime, and what crime exactly do they believe he committed?

So the answer is no.
The US Constitution was amended to establish the popular election of United States Senators by the people of the states. The 17th amendment superseded Article I, §3, Clauses 1 & 2 of the Constitution, under which senators were elected by state legislatures rather than by the people.

The US Constitution could be amended to establish the direct election of POTUS by the people of the states.

Not saying this is likely to happen any time soon. Personally, I just find it interesting how the US Constitution established elections of House, Senate, & POTUS, it's interesting to consider their rationale for doing so.

oh rubbish, every POTUS since Nixon has shown their tax returns, and TRUMP has failed to separate himself from his business interests .



It has NOTHING to do with laws, and everything to do with protecting "YOUR GUY".. If you guys gave a damn about being a "nation of laws" you would not have stood by and cheered as republicans trumped up one fake investigation after another into Hillary.

DANKO. we all know what DANKO means and it breaks a federal law thus you don't give a damn about laws. go ahead and pretend you didn't know, nobody is going to believe you.

You are just exposing your weak knowledge . POLLING for the 2016 election was closer than the 2012 .. and WAS WITHIN the margin of error, you inability to understand how margins of error work reflects on YOU not polling.

and the poll in question is very well known , topical , not from a "liberal" source and you can find it on google.

"Look if I hire you as an employee,"

In other words, you have NEVER owned a business.

I love all the business "experts" on here with ZERO experience !

If we enacted what you want, how many people do you think would become politicians?

Some NEVER THINK before they post.

Well Trump isn't my guy, I detest the man. I didn't vote for him and will never vote for him. That said just because others make public their tax returns doesn't justify making a law of it. At this point if I were him I wouldn't make them public ever, just to spite the people crying about it.
