Opinion

People that help in any way to elect corrupt politicians are not always hoodlums, imposters, or traitors but they are accomplices.

But first, I would like to respond to a Journal contributor with his mostly liberal thinking that the President should be elected by the popular vote instead of an electoral college. The framers that constructed and built our Republic took that into account. They knew the elected president had the ability to buy votes in different ways. Buying votes are contrived in many ways. Here are a few.

When Joe Biden was elected as our president, he started buying votes right away. It was his vengeful promise of removing executive orders by his predecessor, even though they were working as planned. And when Joe Biden took the presidential oath which follows, he continues to break or skirt his promise.

The oath goes as follows, “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.” He started overriding previous executive orders of former president Donald Trump to cease building the Southern Wall and have illegal’s to remain in Mexico until our Border Patrol could process them.

With the recent talk of the U.S. running out of money and a government shutdown, our president found a way to spend money that we don’t have and buy more votes. Biden now will transfer student debt to the taxpayers and voilá, the president has bought millions more votes. Congress is the Branch of government that holds the purse strings, but loopholes exist that the Biden Administration is using.

The president is using money from a cabinet post of The Department of Education’s budget, to forgive student debt. Even though the Supreme Court of the U.S. has ruled the ACT is against the law, Joe Biden continues to go down this path. And remember, if the president fails, many of the debtors will hold the Conservatives responsible for the failure.

By president Joe Biden opening the borders to illegals, he broke several oaths that are in Amendment IV of the Constitution. “Article 4 Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution states: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republic form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence”.

And because there are several states involved, I believe this compounds breaking his oath many times. Here is another occurrence that has caught my attention. I found there are 14 U.S. cites and jurisdictions currently allowing non-citizens to vote.

My view is that the direction our country is changing, perhaps in a few years non-citizens will be able to legally vote in our general elections? If the non-citizens and the incarcerated are legally allowed to vote, then we have a one party “Democrat” nation, even with the electoral college.
