So would they all then have to abide by the laws of our country?

Separation of church and state? 65MPH on the freeways? Transparent accounting mechanisms?

I think there's a Russian mobster and Iraqi warlord or two who might not want to vote for our Pres if they also got the rest of the consequences. If they all agreed to follow the rules though, well hell, it's cheaper than invading one country at a time to "spread democracy."

I think we should start smaller. Let's toss the electoral college and use bank ATMs to do instant runoff voting. Once we get all that worked out, we can deal with the foreign thing.
