"I don't particularly feel strong about this petition, but I don't think the argument "because it's the constitution" is a good one."

I respectfully disagree. I think the fact that it is in the Constitution should give anyone pause about changing it. That's not to say that it should not (or could not) be changed, but this isn't just something that an Executive Order by the current President could change. This is a Congressional responsibility.

This petition is absurd and pointless.

You're right, I agree. This petition is pretty absurd, especially because the election is over (it would've had more substance if it was a non-election year). Just wanted to point out that "because it's the constitution" shouldn't be a discussion-stopper.
