The Constitution is filled with compromises. If we are going to start second guessing the Constitution, this country is going to go to hell in a handbasket. If it hasn't already.
As for W being elected by the Electoral College: W was elected by the Supreme Court. Are we going to get rid of the Supreme Court because of it?
The Constitution was made to be "second guessed"; it not, they wouldn't have put in rules for making amendments to it. Aren't you glad that we second guessed the Constitution and changed it so that women could vote?
If we had election by popular vote instead of the Electoral College, the issue never would have gone to the Supreme Court.
