When will US introduce direct election system for President?

Any idea when US citicens would choose their president directly among candidates, ommitting any intermediary-electors who may or may not change their mind.
Also another peculiarity is that in the current indirect election system one candidate gets all the votes of the eletors in the state, although the actual voted outcome is different.

After we make it through our 2nd ever constitutional convention, the electoral college system will probably go away.

The always Republican House is going to allow that, pull the other one.

Sorry you are correct, my bad thinking, it is Congress decision, but requires a two thirds majority, so still not going to happen soon.

Article. V.

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

Aftermath: A Distorted View of America and Why Seceding Can’t Succeed

"Of course any of the other aforementioned states could, in an act of treason, secede by force to become the world’s newest impoverished nations. Not only are the majority of blue states the most populous, they are also the states with the most wealth, and with that comes the most taxes. And those blue states’ taxes pave their roads, turn on their street lights, run their schools, and make their water drinkable.

While some Republicans in the Great Plains, the Rockies, and much of the Deep South complain about the bright red map, they’ve failed to realize it’s the deceptively small blue cogs that actually keep the machine that is America rolling along — and it’s the blue states’ money that fills the tank."

Bush - Gore -- Gore had more votes (went to the Supreme Legislature and the Republicans won 5/4 (reflecting the composition of the Supreme Legislature)

Gary -- I understand that -- but it was the Supreme Court that made the decision without all the ballots counted.

I'm really glad this election was much more clear cut on a state by state basis. By the way, in Arizona there are still three House seats undecided and as of today there were still something like 300,000 ballots uncounted. It isn't just a mess in Florida.

Bush - Gore -- Gore had more votes (went to the Supreme Legislature and the Republicans won 5/4 (reflecting the composition of the Supreme Legislature)

And then the press went and recounted all the Florida ballots and shock of shock, Bush actually won Florida.

There was not just the undervote, other problems were reported. There was the overvote, illegal voter purging, there was also some electronic glitches that deleted votes (not all reported apparently) and there were some illegal overseas votes (680) that didn't get picked up and removed from the totals.

So I guess we will never know who actually won in Florida.

That's one interpretation of what the press found:

EXAMINING THE VOTE: THE OVERVIEW; Study of Disputed Florida Ballots Finds Justices Did Not Cast the Deciding Vote

[…]

In a finding rich with irony, the results show that even if Mr. Gore had succeeded in his effort to force recounts of undervotes in the four Democratic counties, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Volusia, he still would have lost, although by 225 votes rather than 537. An approach Mr. Gore and his lawyers rejected as impractical -- a statewide recount -- could have produced enough votes to tilt the election his way, no matter what standard was chosen to judge voter intent.

source.

[ETA]Gore lost on the night, and the strategy his team used would not have changed that result, though it's likely a different strategy, calling on a recount in which all counties employed a single standard to consider whether a ballot should be counted, would have found Gore won in Florida. Seems to me that Gore was not robbed of the election by SCOTUS[/ETA]

For example, if Florida's 67 counties had carried out the hand recount of disputed ballots ordered by the Florida court on Dec. 8, applying the standards that election officials said they would have used, Mr. Bush would have emerged the victor by 493 votes.

The consortium asked all 67 counties what standard they would have used and what ballots they would have manually recounted. Combining that information with the detailed ballot examination found that Mr. Bush would have won the election, by 493 votes if two of the three coders agreed on what was on the ballot; by 389 counting only those ballots on which all three agreed.
