Er... we'd start after the next scheduled election, right?
1) Fix the election date at, say, the second Saturday in November.
2) The only exception is if the Government loses confidence and supply, in which case the election MUST be held six weeks from the next Saturday.
What happens then if my government loses confidence in March of the year when the election are due? Are you still going to fix a second general election in November? I'm not against the idea of fixed, by it can simply be fixed on the first Saturday three (or four) years after the previous election, no?

It'll probably take you 6 months to get a passport now - lol
Ought to slow down the exodus then.

Also: trivial, but he talked about a shelter dog. Even *mentioning* a shelter dog is a good thing: more people in the USA might adopt some neglected mutts.
And he described himself as a mutt, that was kinda cute.

Well, he's already making good on his promise to get Gitmo detainees proper trials.
Obviously trying to appease his detainee base.
