My Solution: Let's Have No President for 4 years

Let's give it a try, it will probably save quite a bit of money.

Maybe it's time to sit out the big dance, that being the Presidential election of 2016. I am not thrilled with any of the candidates because quite frankly they are flawed and I would not hire either one to work for or represent me. What if we just were able so say , NO! neither one for President.

We can then open up the oval office for long daily tours at the White House, same for Air Force One. I not saying we would be leaderless, because perhaps the Joint Chiefs and the leaders of both parties in both the House and Senate can make those huge security decisions. After all the way things are now a sitting President can't even nominate a Supreme Court Justice, as we now have only 8, with no hearings or vote in sight.

There comes a time when the professional political apparatus has to be corrected. Blatant misrepresentations cannot remain the norm in politics. There must be a price for double talk and misleading statements.

Perhaps a four year respite from normal Presidential activity may be needed to weed out the over reaching power hungry political operatives of both parties from venting their spleens on the internet, and air waves daily. Time to not only reset the American Presidency but resolve to just not having one for 4 years. After all it is better to leave the car parked in the lot then to have folks incapable of honestly driving it on the high speed highway 24/7.

Don't vote "None of the above," write in "No President for 4 years!"
