A modest proposal

Willing to compromise with McCain on the presidency

February 10th, 2008 by Sam Pierce

I have been opposed to the nomination of John McCain since I became aware of his record as a Senator. I have voiced my opposition and have listened to the voices of others. Some have shared my concerns, some have no concerns, and some shared my concerns until they realized McCain would be the likely nominee. This last group has switched gears and is now threatening, berating, and insulting those with whom they formerly agreed. The notion of standing on principle is becoming so rare that some who earn their living speaking about such things are being forced to choose between practicing what they preach and changing what they preach to fit the RNC agenda.

I have an idea for a compromise that could be a win-win for all involved. McCain would get to be president and American conservatives would not have to sell their souls for the sake of the Republican Party.

John McCain has worked hard in the senate on behalf of citizens and he may deserve to be their president. Of course those who pay attention will realize that the citizens McCain has championed are the citizens of Mexico. My suggestion is that we work with Mexico to amend their constitution to allow a special election in which John McCain can be elected to the presidency. There will certainly be some challenges but think of the benefits.

For McCain:

He will get the presidential power for which he lusts.

His constituents will adore him as he has always fought hard on their behalf.

He can live in a temperate southwestern climate and not deal with D.C. weather.

He can sleep easier at night knowing that his battles against the citizens of The U.S. will be on behalf of the people he represents (as opposed to against the people he represents.)

He will get to be president for a bonus two years as the term for Mexico's president is six years.

For Citizens of The United States:

We can rest a little easier knowing that a "Republican" president isn't trying to push the global warming regulations that will eliminate countless manufacturing jobs.

We won't have a "Republican" president who will be sure to appoint Supreme Court justices that will uphold McCain-Feingold.

We won't have a "Republican" president that will carry on the porous border and let them all in policy of President Bush.

We won't have a "Republican" president that will infect our prisons with Islamic terrorists from Guantanamo.

We won't have a "Republican" president that will force taxpayers to fund the defense of the previously mentioned terrorists.

We won't have a "Republican" president that will oppose Right To Life groups that want to speak out against pro-abortion political allies of said president.

We won't have a "Republican" president that thinks Hillary Clinton would be a good president.

We won't have a "Republican" president that said he would obviously consider being John Kerry's running mate.

We won't have a "Republican" president to take the blame for policies of John McCain, and thus preclude a "Republican" presidency in 2012 or a Republican congressional majority in the near future.

So the next step is to ask Calderon to step down and begin the process of amending the constitution. I know its a long shot, but at this point I will cling to any remote hope. Article 84 of the Mexican Constitution may provide the place to start:

Article 84. In the event of the absolute disability of the President of the Republic, occurring during the first two years of his term, if the Congress is in session, it shall immediately constitute itself as an electoral college, and if there is at least two thirds of the total membership present, it shall name by secret ballot, and by an absolute majority of votes, an interim President; the same Congress shall issue, within ten days following the designation of the interim President, a call for the election of a President to complete the respective term; between the date of the call and that designated for holding the election, there must be an interval of not less than fourteen months nor more than eighteen.

Lets all do what we can to get them to accept McCain as the interim and subsequent elected president. How's that for a compromise?
