Re: Should presidential campaign promises be enforceable?
If you want enforceable campaign promises, you should just have ballot initiatives. And if you talk to someone from California, you'll find out that ballot initiatives suck. So, bad idea.

Re: Should presidential campaign promises be enforceable?
Not in the sense that people can sue the president in court for breach of contract. Global and national circumstances change. Those changes might require a leader who genuinely wanted to do one thing to end up doing another.
However, the free press has the job to shine a light on hypocrisy. And the electorate has the job to decide if any breach of promises are sufficiently unjustifiable to warrant voting for someone else in the next election. |
