Not a lot of Americans know this but what would theoretically happen in a case of nobody voting enough or no-votes (like that's ever going to happen). The government will run a specialized election, but that election will only be voted on the government members themselves. It goes to the House of Representatives.
And that's something we don't want.
Is this in reference to the 12th Amendment or something else?
The more I learn about Andrew Jackson, the more I see why Trump chose his photo to hang up, and the more I see we haven't learned much as a country in 200 years. ๐
Yes, that.
Ah cool, just wanted to make sure I read about the thing you were talking about as the 12th covers some other topics too. It was an interesting story how that all came about, thanks for encouraging me to look it up!
