Um, no. U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1, addresses
qualifications to be eligible. Nothing about deserving.

Pass all those requirements with the votes, and you deserve the title.
Its quite simple.


I think you are confusing "qualifications" with executive /
legislative branch powers once elected.

Nope, meet the guidelines set out by it and get elected (of course),
then you have earned and 'deserve' the title.

If you want to examine where the Constitution failed us, let's revisit
the 2000 Presidential election.

rolls eyes

Nominee George W. Bush Al Gore

Popular vote 50,456,002 50,999,897
Percentage 47.9% 48.4%

I see something terribly wrong with that, and thus Presidents may no
longer refer to the USA as a "Democracy" due to the numbers above.


Wrong. The Constitution works just fine. See the Supreme Court - Bush
vs Gore. Do you think that ruling is not the Law of The Land?

We are most definitely a Republic, which is a step below true democracy.

Will you now tell me Texas is a State and not a Republic?

I think you should come out of from the "Liberal Light". It must be
burring your eyes.
