It is also worth noting that there is little evidence to suggest that Jared Kushner is the "very senior member of the Presidential Transition Team" who lobbied the UN Security Council members regarding a resolution on our about December 22, 2016, regarding illegal Israeli settlements (see http://www.justice.gov/sco U.S. v. Michael T. Flynn "Statement of the Offence"). Who knows who might be guilty of such activity?
And what about the top one-millionth of one percent (1/
1,000,000%); namely, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Jeff Bezos? Between the three they are alleged to have as much health as the entire bottom fifty percent (50%) of the entire U.S. population!
As always, good article. However, numerics may need to be revisited, in consideration of consanguinity. For (admittedly extreme) example, Carlos/Charles II of Spain's 8 great-grandparents were all descended from the union of 2 persons (Philip I of Castile & Joanna/Juana ),etc....etc. Of course, over time, this quickly diminishes the number of discreet,non-identical grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on. Less to the point, ancestry from Muhammad would also have been consanguineously through his daughter, Fatima, and his first cousin, Ali. All in all, though, this does not impact the integrity of the article's real point.
"Unfortunately for the GOP candidates, you can’t win a US presidential election with 400 votes...." A realistic comment; which, by standards of common sense and political judgment stands as reasonably irrefutable. Still...technically (and apparently according to the US Constitution) the number of persons required to elect the US President is only 270 persons: the current absolute majority of the US Electoral College. (Or. to quibble more, although perhaps to some interest from an historical perspective and in the event of the failure of this process, it seems that the number of US citizens required to elect a President could be would be legally be as small as a majority of a roll-call vote of the US House of Representatives, which would then in this perhaps far-fetched scenario be tasked with picking between the candidates. Further per Amendment XII, the voting to elect would be by majority vote, 1 vote each state, with required quorum of 2/3rds of states. & possible abstentions?) Groan....
