Is it taboo in contemporary society and political circles to question the suitability or the legitimacy of electing a president through direct universal suffrage? It may not be if we believe that, in the study of political science and law, we can examine anything and everything. Nonetheless, questioning the pertinence of the popular vote for president may appear taboo—or at least incongruous—if we think about the virtues of voting and its proven track record in great democracies before voting was extended to political systems on every continent. Why would anyone reopen the debate about an ultra-democratic way of nominating those who govern, questioning a highly regarded constitutional institution and proven electoral technique that has the merit of being exceptionally “legitimizing”?
