I'm working on various Constitutional corrections to clear up the confusion in the Vice President position. The problem is we'll never get this through discussion, polling, voting before the election. What I have here is a band-aid fix. This decision will be in effect only for the upcoming election. We will work on a permanent fix before the next election.
This poll style is not like what we're used to. Normally we vote in a plurality - the item with the most votes wins but the winner is not necessarily the most popular item. What I'm using here is a confidence poll. The most popular decision wins.
Example:
A, B, and C are the choices.
20 people are voting. 12 prefer A but also like C, 8 prefer B but also like C.
In a plurality A would get 12 votes, B would get 8 and C would get zero. A would be the winner.
In a confidence poll you vote yes on all of the items you feel confident on. In this case A would get 12, B would get 8 and C would win with 20 votes (remember that everybody liked C).
The most popular candidate wins!
In our poll the winner must have at least 4 YES votes to be enacted to short term law as a majority of the cabinet is required. In the event of a tie, the president will cast the tiebreaking vote. In the event that the highest YES count is 3 the President's vote will cast the majority.
Explanation done. Here are the candidates:
Option 1: The VP is a full cabinet member. This position is voted upon in the elections. Anybody can be a candidate. Candidates are nominated. The second place finisher in the VP elections gets nothing. The second place finisher in the Presidential elections gets nothing.
Option 2: The VP is the deputy of the Executive Branch. This position is filled by the second place finisher in the Presidential elections.
All cabinet members should vote YES, NO, or ABSTAIN for EACH option. The vote signales your confidence in that measure. This poll will be up until Midnight GMT on Friday 4/26.
EDIT: Poll closed. See my last post in this thread for details.
