The Electoral College was adopted by the framers of our Constitution as a method of ensuring that our presidents would be well-qualified statesmen. But this goal has been thwarted by changes in our "e;unwritten constitution,"e; resulting in a deeply flawed electoral process that is far removed from Constitutional provisions. Reformers frequently seek to abolish the Electoral College and replace it with a process that gives the presidency to the candidate winning the most popular votes, but that alternative provides poor inoculation from charismatic charlatans. Paul Schumaker, a retired professor of political science, employs the techniques of memoir to convey the evolution of his thinking about this issue, to warn us against adopting such pretenders as the "e;Interstate Compact,"e; and to prescribe a national process that weds concerns for more acceptable candidates with our common democratic values. Covering the past, the present, and the future, this book concisely informs the public about a current issue of enduring importance for American politics.

I wrote “Daddy is Always here” for my little girl and for every little boy and girl who lost their father. Whether they lost their father sudden, through sickness, violence etc. This book is to help children cope with losing their father but also to assure them that daddy is always here beside them, guiding them. Losing a love one is never easy and having to explain to a child that daddy isn’t coming home is very hard and difficult. I hope “Daddy is Always Here” help parents talk with their child or children about their lost and to teach them that they’re never alone. That although you can’t see daddy physically, he is still here with you. This book is to help children understand and know that it is ok to talk about it and that somewhere in the world another little boy or girl is experiencing the same thing. I wrote “Daddy is Always Here” so that it can be every child’s go to book when they are having one of those day where they really miss and need daddy. I hope this book help ever little boy and girl understand that daddy is still and will always be here with them.
