Is there a percentage of the veto vote you'd support? What if voter veto only needed 30% (or pick another number) of the vote to veto the bill? Wouldn't the minority then be able to hold onto their rights?
It isn't the veto idea that I have a problem with it's what would come after, what they would turn it into like they do with everything else. it would come back and it would bite us in the a$$
Totally agree. No way to get that done now. Term limits should have been implemented for all branches, Judicial branch included. Judicial could be appointed but maybe for a 6 year term and the President would have to reappoint if they wanted to keep you. This would have kept things maybe not more honest but at least we could keep things moving if it went bad.
If you consider that from the beginning and not how it would affect things now, I think it might have been a good strategy.
Direct democracy? No thanks. Next the majority will vote on what rights they can take from me.
This is correct. Why the framers didn't want a democracy.

This is why the founders hated democracy.
Implementing term limits to Congress in the Constitution would have saved this country an awful lot of heartache.
