Let’s get together, ya ya ya

It may just be the liberal insanity of Austin, Texas, or it could be a lot of America–ask someone who they want for president and the common answer is either Obama or Clinton.
And it’s a standard answer–but let’s say I asked this last election, or the election before. It seemed that the disparity between Republican and Democrat rang true as the quintessential arch-nemesis occupation of the political campaign… But this year, it’s Democrat v. Democrat (thanks to those currently sitting in the U.S. administrative duck pond).
And while at Democratic debates people sit around and say, “I wish they would debate more,” unfulfilled by the different methods of agreement from both Obama and Clinton, one wonders what the huge differences are at all.
Solution: co-presidents. Possible? According to an article in Slate, yes.
The article states:
How? The Constitution’s 25th Amendment allows for a new paradigm of political teamwork: The two Democratic candidates could publicly agree to take turns in the top slot.
Adopted in 1967 in the shadow of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the 25th Amendment allows presidents unilaterally to transfer presidential power to their vice presidents and enables presidents, with congressional consent, to fill a vacancy in the vice presidency should one arise. By creatively using the constitutional rules created by this amendment, the Democrats can, if they are so inclined, present the voters in November with a new kind of balanced ticket.
Imagine just how more interesting 2008 could get.
But don’t forget, McCain is still on that ticket.
