Revised: should we adopt a law that any POTUS who breaks more than 3 campaign promises is removed from office?

for example, candidate John Doe says ';I will NOT raise income taxes on citizens,'; but President Doe signs a bill that raises income taxes.


or


Candidate Smith says ';I will give citizens five days to examine any bill that comes to my desk before I sign it into law except in cases of national security,'; but President Smith starts signing bills into laws only a day or two after they are passed and the bills have nothing to do with national security.





Those are clear examples of broken campaign promisesRevised: should we adopt a law that any POTUS who breaks more than 3 campaign promises is removed from office?
So you want presidents to keep their promises.


You are completely rigid and unflappable.





And you've never in your live changed your mind about a situation after you learned more about it.





And you've never seen a situation where the circumstances changed so that you had to alter your plans.





And you allow no room for mistakes, or new information, or changed circumstances.





Aren't you just dandy.Revised: should we adopt a law that any POTUS who breaks more than 3 campaign promises is removed from office?
A campaign promise is that, a promise. In reality the president must be able to act according to the situation. Right now, I for instance promise not to kill anybody, but if somebody breaks into my home and attacks my woman there is a pretty good chance that I will shoot him and in doing so kill the man. Did I break my promise? of course not. I would be acting in accordance to the situation at hand. A president must be able to adjust to the situation, if he wasn't going to do that, why have a president? all we would need is elect a bunch of principals to office.
I think its a great idea, not sure why anyone would oppose the idea however it does not take the average politician long to break their campaign promises so we will be forever in an election or appointing cycle to replace those who broke their campaign promises. Sad but true.
We wouldn't have had a president for the last 100 years.











Sometimes people think they will be able to do something but circumstances change and they can't.
This question just flies in the face of the Constitution and is just ridiculous.
That would be a novel experience. No one would have lasted more than two weeks since 1920.
No. If you don't like it, move.
