The man wants to make deals, right, so make a deal. (warning I'm an American and know just enough about Canadian government to be dangerous)
"Join" the United States of America under these conditions:
- Mexico can join too if they want
- Each Province or State of joining countries becomes a State
- The Constitutions of all countries apply only to the States it previously applied to while a new Constitution is written
- The rules of the Constitutional Convention must be agreed to by both a majority of the joining States and 2/3 of all States
Please make this deal. Our governments are all too old to work great in this age but maybe we can forge a new design fit for the 2000s if we erase most of it and start fresh.
Why would an optional feature be a deal breaker?
It also seems like an issue that could be easily solved by whitelisting.
