First, an apology.  I must apologize for letting my blog slip.  For the summer time "supposing" to be slow for business, I have found myself incredibly busy!  I will do better finding the half hour or so to update the blog more regularly!

One of the oddities in our society is that everyone is complaining about "Constitution this" "Constitution that"....  and yet, we voided one of the basic premises of the very same Constitution long ago.

According to the Constitution, the three highest offices in the land MUST be elected.  That is the Presidency, Vice Presidency, and Speaker of the House.  Why did they do this?  Those are the offices that automatically assume the Presidency should the President die in office. 

But this isn't what we do now.  We elect only the President, mainly because of the development of the political party system.  The Vice President is attached to the President's ticket.  We can no longer not elect the VP of his party's choice without refusing to elect the person running for President. 

As far as the Speaker of the House goes, that position is now elected by the House Majority party, rather than the American People.

Wouldn't it be funny to have a return to an election process as set out by the Constitution in today's world?  For example, the popular vote comes out, is reflected in the electoral college correctly, and we end up with a Republican President, Independent VP, and a Democrat for Speaker of the House. 

That's how it is "supposed" to be!
