The Choosing of President,Vice-President, and Senator If States Regain Sovereignty- By Harsha Sankar

Dear Citizen,                                       September 2020
  

If States regain their sovereign republic status, senators should still not be chosen by its legislatures as those who make the law should be elected. Direct popular voting, filtered by public balloting and electoral votes, and incorporated with Rank Choice(single transferable voting), should make the choosing of senators properly "Representatively Democratic".

However, perhaps the state legislatures of each state should choose the President and definitely the Vice-President Of The  United States. After all, those who apply, administer, or enforce the law should be selected. Neither of those positions make the law although the President can block legislation and cite objections to it. The Vice-President is the President Of The US Senate who can vote to make law if there is a tie. However, his main function is to schedule floor speeches(proposals and debates) and voting. With the preceding being considered and if the states become sovereign entities again, it may be properly "Representatively Democratic" for state legislatures to select the POTUS and VPOTUS via the electoral voting process.

Of course, nothing works if there is still "same-hands governance". However, the best way to prevent that from ever existing is to re-establish both Representative Democracy and Representative Republic. It is strongly believed that a sovereign state government is a better way to ensure that.
