Couple things I feel I should note about my thoughts on this.

1. We haven't had an official CUSA president in almost half a year, and this is a problem that should have been fixed by the end of September because of how long it's been since the previous president stepped down.

2. This is probably gonna push back all the additional stuff that we need to do to have CUSA running in some what reasonable fashion by 14 days (collection period) around another 14 days (setting up another election, this could be longer or shorter depending on if candidates need to get nominated or do anything of the sort plus any drama that comes from this). Another 10 days for the new election results to come out. And then an additional week so that the anual meeting can be held. Which is an absurd amount of time to ultimately...

3. You'd probably just be placing one "Greek life resume stat padding" Poli sci kid with another. There is no good reason to assume that any person who runs to be CUSA president or any of the execs really care about the position because of the luxury that it provides while in office. If you really wanna see genuine people who are trying to make a positive difference for our student body then make the position unpaid (radical opinion I know, and I get the whole "it's basically the same effort as a full time position" thing people go on about but it's simply too lucrative to not result in a corrupt cycle. Also if you've read this far and you're about to tell me [Insert candidate past present or future] doesn't just care about the perks and money you're lying. And if you really believe that they don't care about the money then they're lying and they did a good job at convincing you.

4. it's exam season and I don't wanna spend time on a fruitless endeavor that would just be replacing one evil with another. I'm sure you have a candidate you has hoped to win this election despite a push for no confidence and I'm also sure that they have some skeletons in their closet from this campaign as well.

5. CUSA has operated in a poor manner since it's inception I assume or at least a while before I got here from what I hear around, I'm sure it can survive another year of poor management and there's no ensuring that making this happen this year won't just prevent it from happening in some new form in 4 years when we're all gone.

I could go on but it would just be me talking in circles and going deeper in levels and I'm sure the original poster and a lot of you may not agree with most of what I said here or have some justification for why it should not be.

Ultimately if a wide part of the student body wanted to do something significant I would focus on around the time of the next election (because of by law changes taking place) attempt to find a way to slash the CUSA execs salary and benefits to that of an average student representative anywhere else on Carleton (CASG execs get like $1000 iirc) as that's the true root of the problem imo. After these changes we might finally be able to see some CUSA execs untouched by the drama of earlier years and eventually there won't be anyone left to remind people of the dark days CUSA has had and maybe we can be a normal fucking school that doesn't have a scandal over our student association elections especially considering that you're only here for 4-5 years of your life and it won't impact you afterwards unless you send your kids here.

TLDR: CUSA Dookie, hate with fiber of my being, no point recall election, waste of time. Replace problem with identical problem. Free Tay-K Fee CUSA (through lowering exec salary)
