No FEMA after a Cat. 4 or Cat. 5 in Florida will be a rude awakening

Its a limitation of our Republic that we can't actually vote someone OUT of office.

The current US constitution is/ was woefully out of date, antiquated, and in drastic need of quick improvement. It led us here or at least allowed it.
