Jesse R. Grant states that four million men in the country can meet the requirements for the presidency, a claim that implies a vast pool of possible candidates while suggesting little opposition to his assertion.
Col. Watterson notes that voters have unprecedented power and are increasingly determined to use it. The public mobilizes and shifts influence toward shaping policy beyond traditional channels.
