| Message | Maybe it should be Vice President, the US VP heads the Congress. The power will be gained through merging these two seperate offices, I am against it even though it will be passed |

| Message | So you want to do away with Head of State elections, huh? The one office that counts the entire nation as a constituency? Thanks but no thanks, says the party who counts the current Head of State as a member. Good luck getting the 2/3 majority. |

| Message | No No No, it doesnt get rid of the elections, it makes the elected Head of State the automatic Head of Government. You get an automatic Cabinet Position. |
