Should the CIA just continue working without someone democratically elected overseeing them?
If you would just shut down everything that government does overnight, release all people from prison and stop law enforcement you will get problem that people who 'vote' no confidence probably don't want to see.
Of course you could declare that the past president continues to rule instead of a new president but I don't think that's either what people who vote no confidence would want. |
i see what you're saying. Obviously the past president should continue until a suitable replacement is found. I would say that the people that evaluate the system would be a non government entity (and not appointed by the government), and there should be several of them. Hell, pick people at random. We keep hearing all this rhetoric about power to the people, but not once have the actual citizens of this country ever determined anything in America, besides casting votes for mostly hand picked representatives. The people have no power, which is why we are not a democracy. What you mentioned may not be exactly what the no confidence voters would want, but it still is progress.
