For years, people have been saying we need to get rid of the so-called Electoral College; this section gets rid of Electors and replaces them with a popular vote of The People.
It does require that Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates run as a team but makes no mention of political parties. Neither the original Constitution nor its Amendments mention political parties. The only requirements are the candidates must both “be 35 years of age at the time of taking office, and been a resident of the United States for at least 14 years at the time of taking office.”
The controversial term “oath” has been removed from the reference to inauguration and been replaced with a more specific phrase which is legally binding versus spiritually binding.
