I think state voters can hold a governor accountable for state matters and then national matters. Term limits at the state level would be beneficial as well. We DON’T want to empower the federal component of government. This would allow for a national consensus tied to the popularity of the governor. But, as the federal administrative unit would have no legislative or executive authority, it would keep any one popular governor in check... No more Pelosi terrorizing the Great plains...

Sure...But to do this ALL the governors have to be behind this...Some will not because they know what it will do to their buddies upstream in the Federal government...

I’d have to do a quick count, but the ratio of democrat governors to Republican governors is kinda interesting...

My Governor Rick Perry (currently a republican, formerly a democrat) has made noises about secession and states rights in the last few months, and he also has, it looks like, a serious challenge to his job this time...

He’s pulling the ole seige at the Alamo campaign trick...Leaning to the right, and the base of Texans...

More entertaining than effective in my book...He’s got bigger problems as far as I know...
