A recall system would be chaotic as heck. The administration would change so often, that no one would ever be able to get anything done, for better or for worse. | That's a good point. Some people even say that our current four-year presidential terms are too short, so the president doesn't get anything done because he's preparing for the next election. I think four years is a good balance between too long and too short. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. ~Edmund Burke |
