text: I agree with the statement the people know best because to me it true. If the majority of the people all vote for the same person its because the person is or has done something good and they would like to see that continue to happen. Also , I feel that the president should be elected by the popular vote because the people are in which what makes the country run. We the people have to work and spend money nd recieve money back in order to make our state or our country be  successful. If no one spends then what is are country proffiting from? I strongly believe that the the president should be elected by the people because without the people it wouldnt work. For example, when a candidate runs for president his job is to attract more people and or do something to make people want to say " I really like what he or she is doing and i think that we should vote for him or her".
