5. You do know why the Founding Fathers
put it in there, don't you?

Try readying some Parlamentary History, in particular as it pertains to King George I, and KG II... and the abuses of power.

After you do that homework find out when Rules of Order came to be, and why, and then consider why those stodgy old white men put it in there.

Short term it will allow the majority to do whatever they want, you know how unamerican this is?

thought you'd like to know
