Right now, our President has a 33% approval rating. In any job—yours, mine, anyone's—that would mean getting fired. But somehow we're stuck for four years no matter how bad things get.
I started a petition asking Congress to establish an annual confidence vote on the President. Basically: let Americans formally evaluate whether our leader is doing the job. If approval drops below a certain threshold, it triggers procedures for removal.
Many democracies already do this. It's not radical—it's actually a straightforward way to make sure our highest leader answers to the people, not just once every four years.
Does anyone else feel like we're locked into something that doesn't make sense? What would you want to see change if you had the chance? If this resonates with you, consider signing and sharing.

those recall elections are terrible, just get a parlementary system, minister president executive, en a ceremonial head of state.
ok well he does, so…
The People are the ones who voted for this mess. I’m not sure I know the best solutions to our current problems, but more democracy likely isn’t it. As Agent K said in Men in Black, “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.” 33% of the population *still* think Trump is doing a fine job, and a majority voted for this clown show in 2024. In this age of social media algorithms, “news” delivered via Facebook, X, or TikTok, and media consolidation, the rational and informed voter is a rarer and rarer breed.
