House Dems move to eliminate Electoral College, limit presidential pardon power

They're following the process for introducing Constitutional amendments. I disagree with the idea of dissolving the College. A desire to do so indicates a lack of understanding of its purpose. Limiting Presidential pardon power? I am all in favor of anything that increases accountability on the person sitting in the Oval Office, but I'm concerned about where you would draw the line when determining who the President can and can't pardon. What's a "person in the administration"? Are we just talking VPOTUS and Cabinet, or are we talking about Billy the intern who works in the DHS mailroom, technically making him part of the administration since his boss of bosses is the Secretary of Homeland Insecurity?


I'd also like to point out that this is, once again, one Democrat without co-signers. If I had a nickel for every grandstanding bill advanced by a member of Congress, regardless of party, designed to puff out their chest and get their name in the headlines, I'd fix the defecit.
