10 be overturned or declared un-Constitutional, making it

13 any other official which seeks to remove it a tyrannical, un-

14 democratic dictator deserving of infamy;

15 Whereas advances in voting technology eliminate any previous

16 concerns about mob rule as pertaining to democracy, since

17 democracy can now be calmly performed through vote on a

18 vast scale without necessity of mobs, and allowing votes to be

19 taken without peer pressure or emotionally-charged

20 environments;
