One thing I worry about is a contingent presidential election. That situation arises when no candidate gets a majority of electoral votes (270 of 538). Should this situation arise, Congress gets to pick the next president and vice president.

    The legislature picking the executive happens after every single election in parliamentary democracies. You don’t see people wetting their pants over it, life goes on.

      Our legislature is heavily biased in one direction because of the laws that structure it. Institutionally, it would be extremely bad for the rest of the world.
