There was a time the constitution deemed blacks were counted as “three-fifths” of a person. We realized how dumb that shit is. Time to change the living document once again.
Trump want's two more years (lol)

You aren't sorry but thanks for the attempt at politeness.
I'm sorry, but the constitution is clear on states having the right to set rules for how their votes are allocated in the Electoral College. When enough states set the policy of assigning their electoral college votes to the winner of the national vote, the days of EC selecting a minority president will be effectively ended.
The electoral college will be just a formality and a reminder of the bad old days.

WAIT...
You know my politics? You don't know anything about me.
Where, in these 2 posts, did you decide I am a ...trumptard? And dumb?
This is NOT how debates are done. This is where I know a lot about you though...

I'm sorry, but:
https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/section_9.1#myth_9.1.1
9.1.1 MYTH: A federal constitutional amendment is necessary for changing the current method of electing the President.
QUICK ANSWER:
- The U.S. Constitution gives the states the “exclusive” and “plenary” power to choose the method of awarding their electoral votes.
I just checked and Oregon is getting closer to making national public vote into law. Our measly 7 EC votes could very soon be added to the 189 already committed to make 196 EC votes that automatically go to the winner of the national majority. It takes 270 to win the election, so only 74 more to go.
The House previously passed this legislation and this guy killed it in the Senate:
Boo that man. Republicans are so anti-Democracy.
After 10 years of trying, it cleared the state Senate last month and it's on its way through the more friendly House.
.
On April 10, 2019, the Oregon House of Representatives gave a first reading to the National Popular Vote Bill (status of SB 870).
On April 9, 2019, the Oregon Senate passed the National Popular Vote Bill (status of SB 870) with a bipartisan vote of 17-12. The bill now goes to the Oregon House.

Again...you can not pick and choose...All or not.
My state already passed that ec goes by the popular vote. Before your state.
But we are a constitutional Republic. These things are decided by the constitution. There are ways to change it, but until then, it IS the law of the land.
Sorry...I do not know anything about history, though...

Yep, says it right there in the constitution. No need for an amendment, just an agreement by enough states. Red states and Blue states have both signed up for the agreement.
Most certainly there will be court challenges and the courts are now stacked with right wingers so it might simply be another stupid ruling like the one that gave corporations the same rights as people. So, then, we start pushing for an amendment. It's not as if real people are against it. Probably those corporations might not like it.
It IS the "President of the United States" (POTUS) and not the "President of Mostly Small States That Tend to Vote Conservative" (POMSSTTTVC). Let's put US back into the abbreviation.

Which land are you talking about? The law of this land says states have the right to decide how to allocate EC votes.
A moral issue? LOL

This land.
The copy of the constitution I read still says the Electoral College elects the president.
Has it changed?
Where did I tell another state how to allocate those electoral votes.
And yes...narrow mindedness, hate and intolerance...a moral decision.

There are more words in that document than you stated.
Maybe your mind is too tightly closed to have seen the previous messages. To quote the constitution:
Article II, section 1, clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution provides:
“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors….”
It's you who would hijack the constitution.

I saw you trying to defend trump being in office even though hillary got millions more votes
This retarded
- I ripped this from Yahoo, with slight editing
The US president shared on Sunday a tweet by Jerry Falwell Jr, president of evangelical Christian university Liberty University and a prominent supporter of Mr Trump.
“After the best week ever for @realDonaldTrump - no obstruction, no collusion, NYT admits @BarackObama did spy on his campaign, & the economy is soaring,”.
In fact there is no evidence to suggest former president Barack Obama had any role in probing the Trump campaign, and special counsel Robert Mueller has provided multiple instances in which Mr Trump attempted to impede his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“I now support reparations, (but not for slaves),” Mr Fallwell added in the tweet the president shared on his account. “Trump should have 2 yrs added to his 1st term as pay back for time stolen by this corrupt failed coup.”
Though Mr Trump did not explicitly endorse the message he shared, he regularly and almost exclusively retweets messages he agrees with.
He followed up the retweet with posts of his own bemoaning two years “stollen” (sic) by the special counsel’s probe, which was launched in May 2017 and concluded with Mr Mueller’s 448-page report, which was published last month.
“Despite the tremendous success that I have had as President, including perhaps the greatest ECONOMY and most successful first two years of any President in history, they have stollen two years of my (our) Presidency (Collusion Delusion) that we will never be able to get back,” he tweeted.
“The Witch Hunt is over but we will never forget. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
- Nah, the BITCH hunt ain't over yet
- Holy fuck, the man apparently really, really believes that if he lies enough, it will become true, and so far he's right, it is working because we've all become numb to his shit, and he's winning.
- He actually is winning.
- What the fuck is wrong with this country?
- It's time for my 1st "I want Trump to Die" toast of the day.
- Cheers!!!!
sorry, there's no provision for stolen years ie trumpy's investigated years..it's known as tough shite..when you're a traitor, you should expect.
if you want it to be the case, we'll start with obama's stolen terms- all but the lame duck for 6 months out of 8 years, if i recall and yet he still fixed bush's mess..shot osama bin laden dead in the eye

When the Federal Government has given itself the right now to respect the people's constitutional rights, I'd say that your question doesn't really matter much anymore.
