We don't have many such offices, but by golly that's what these are.
Unless otherwise directed in the Constitution these guys don't even have to recognize the Judiciary or the Executive branches of government in exercising their office.
If the treatment of convention delegates by both parties is any indication, they’ll just ignore anything they don’t wamt to hear.
Time is shorter than we think.
With only few exceptions, where an elector voted for someone other than who he was pledged to, they have been no more than rubber stamps. I pray it doesn’t have to come to that, but there are far too many people who question Baraq 0bama’s aka Barry Soetoro’s eligibility. Heck, there is not even definitive proof he is even a citizen! The affects a lot of things, among them his standing as Commander in Chief. Since the congress, SCOTUS, various State Secretaries of State have failed to do their duty, I would really like to see The Electoral College examine the candidates before voting. This is one thing I fault Dick Cheney on when he presided.
