   Just wait to they get President, and 51% plus in both chambers, they will then pack the Supreme Court, which will in turn declare that according to the 14th Amendment to the Constitution the office of President must be directly elected.

   Higher Math might have very different meanings to different people. Some would consider Algebra higher math, while some may or may not include partial differential equations as such (though most probably do).
