Ugh I can only imagine the fracas that would sweep across the country allowing a president to govern beyond 8 years. But I suppose to prevent citizens getting rebellious and all voting 'none'. We could make it law that the 'none' vote would not actually count as a vote, that would work. Unless of course the voter belonged to a political party then said party could claim a certain percentage of the a none vote to put their candidate in the lead. Wow the possibilities are endless think how many laws we could create too , our government would certainly need to grow to satisfy the will of the people. So lets hop on the bandwagon lets begin the bureaucratic nightmare of making voting mandatory. Lessee how could we enforce this? Hmmm, I know lets get the supreme court and IRS involved then we could make it legal to penalize and mark those non participants in this grand government plan for (some of) the people.
