4. Let the Democrats Control both house to keep a check on The President

5. I do not care about politics or do not live inthe United States, it makes no difference to me

I realize also that Bush will be a Lame Duck President, I also believe that not only do most people want change, but withthe Democrats in Congrsss, the will have the votes and power to get answers from the White House American's want, right now, Congress appears to be a rubber stamp for him

if anyone has seen the polll or know how i can repost ti please let me know
I could be described as a 5 if it were not for the fact that whoever runs the US has a huge impact on the rest of the world.

I have to say though that as long as Bush is in charge of the White House I fear for the whole world's safety and sanity. I heard on the radio this morning that the republicans losing control of both houses will make Bush a lame duck. Has this not always been the case as he is an intellectual midget controlled by powerful unelected forces? Or am I just cynical.

I have always struggled to understand the presidential system. Surely if the President was elected from among the elected members of one house or the other it would remove this situation whereby the whole country has voted in a particular way but the head of the country is free to pursue a political and foreign policy agenda completely at odds with that countries people?

I wonder if any of the US contributors to this site have feelings about changing the system of elections?
