Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to abolish the electoral college and to provide for the direct election of the President and Vice President of the United States.

Bill 118 hjres 227 proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that would abolish the electoral college system currently in place for electing the President and Vice President. Instead, the bill suggests implementing a direct election system where the candidates who receive the most votes nationwide would win the presidency.

The electoral college system has been a topic of debate for many years, with critics arguing that it can lead to situations where a candidate can win the presidency without winning the popular vote. This has happened in several elections throughout US history, most recently in the 2016 election.

Proponents of abolishing the electoral college argue that a direct election system would ensure that the candidate who receives the most votes from the American people would win the presidency, leading to a more democratic and fair election process. If passed, this bill would require a constitutional amendment, which would need to be ratified by three-fourths of the states in order to take effect. This process is intentionally difficult in order to ensure that any changes to the Constitution have broad support across the country. Overall, Bill 118 hjres 227 represents a significant proposed change to the way the President and Vice President are elected in the United States, and has the potential to reshape the electoral process in a fundamental way.
