There are numerous problems involved with anyone willing to run for Presidential office. One is that their life is no longer their own. Every single word they utter, every association they have, every single thing in their past will be dug through, twisted, and made public for all the world to see. It would be worse than living in a glass house because not only will they live under the microscope, every person they know or have ever had any interaction with, and every relative would be as well.
I doubt that there are too many people who would wish this type of constant invasion going on during their campaign, whether or not they won the election. And it goes on long after the election. In the case of someone who actually won, it goes on all during their tenure, and would be on-going for years after their term was ended, even if they never held another political office.
Other problems include finding the time to 'advertise' their desire for office, finding the funding to allow for that time- one has to support themselves (and possibly their family) in the interim, being able to articulate clearly what their goals are, and finding people who share common ideas and will vote for them.
Even though, for example, I might have some ideas on how to turn things around, and have the ability to listen to what people need and want, there is fierce opposition amongst the big business conglomerates who want to 'stay in charge' of puppeteering our elected officials. They own the banks, they have the ability to actively bring about undesirable questions as to one's integrity, and they can 'make or break' anyone.
The corruption that goes on is not just within our borders. It extends to all countries. These powerful few have been playing chess with the world a very long time, and will avoid, at any cost, being put in a losing position.
How many common-sense people are willing to tackle that sort of opposition? It could cost a person very dearly, possibly including their very life, to confront or oppose such power.
Yet, we desperately need someone to brave that opposition, and be willing to make those sacrifices. We need an honest, ethical person who is willing to unfailingly uphold our founding documents, and do what is in the best interest of the sovereigns of this nation.
Many today are disenchanted with the offerings of candidates presented thus far. We must actively seek out a person of integrity who understands the problems of the common man as well as the workings of the many aspects of governing- the economy, the foreign interactions, and many other factors. This person must remain level headed and be able to objectively listen to all sides- usually in a short amount of time- and come to a fair decision that best suits the country's interest. They must not let their own personal preferences bias their opinions, but rather listen to their countrymen and countrywomen on all matters.
They must be strong enough to withstand the constant assault on their character, their past, their words, and their intentions.
They must be educated well enough to understand the complexity of law, and of human character. And they must possess a huge amount of common sense, compassion and understanding when dealing with all the intricacies presented to them.
According to our Constitution:
Article. II. - The Executive Branch
Section 1 - The President
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He
shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice-President
chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number
of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the
State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person
holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an
Elector.
(The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two persons, of
whom one at least shall not lie an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they
shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which
List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the
United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall,
in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and
the Votes shall then be counted. 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 if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of
Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them
for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the
said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the
Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; a
quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two-thirds of the
States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case,
after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the
Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have
equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice-President.) (This clause
in parentheses was superseded by the 12th Amendment.)
The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which
they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of
the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall
any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five
Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
(In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or
Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the same shall devolve on
the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal,
Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what
Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the
Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.) (This clause in parentheses has
been modified by the 20th and 25th Amendments.)
The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which
shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been
elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United
States, or any of them.
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or
Affirmation:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of
the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States."
Section 2 - Civilian Power over Military, Cabinet, Pardon Power, Appointments
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States,
and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United
States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the
executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective
Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the
United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make
Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and
by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other
public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the
United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which
shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such
inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in
the Heads of Departments.
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the
Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their
next Session.
Section 3 - State of the Union, Convening Congress
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union,
and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and
expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them,
and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment,
he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors
and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and
shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.
Section 4 - Disqualification
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed
from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high
Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Now, who do YOU know that can be considered for President in the upcoming election?
We MUST find the appropriate person, who is willing to withstand the constant barrage of intrusion into their life, and who has the knowledge and skill to get our country back on a good, solid standing. They MUST defend and protect our Constitution, and be accountable to the sovereigns rather than selling out to special interests, big business, and other influential groups that would have us destroyed. This country represents all the world's common man's hope. This country MUST remain free.
Clearly, it is our duty to find someone fit, rather than just another 'politician' who is trained to say one thing and do another. It is rather obvious that the sovereigns of this nation are tired of the "same 'ol, same 'ol" when it comes to our 'representatives'. We are tired of seeing them represent their own best interest instead of ours.
LET THE SEARCH BEGIN!!! And let us support our choice whole-heartedly, so this person has the ability to take on the dragons that would rather destroy them than have their comfortable game dissolved.
Let us begin in earnest to find this person, and vote for them, so we can get back to the business of being a free nation.
