<<second of all, learned scholars on both sides of the aisle are trying to figure out what exactly "majority of appointed electors means">> You see now, this is exactly the type of thing I was talking about. You take something simple, claim it is complicated or ambiguous, and then start your process of "interpreting". And by doing so, switch the power from the Founders to yourself. Usurping what is not yours. Disgraceful. If there is anyone out there too ignorant of the language to understand what "majority of appointed electors" means, they are neither learned nor scholars. By the way, you quoted the Constitution wrong. What it says is, "The person having the greatest number of votes shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed..." "And although certain contradictions in the Constitution did leave a loophole for the growth of Statism, the incomparable achievement was the concept of a constitution as a means of limiting and restricting the power of the government".
