We already require the President and Senate to agree to appoint a Justice. The problem there is the Senate gives each state equal representation with no regard to their population (this has been an issue since before the country was a country) and there’s absolutely no way that enough rural states are going to vote to change that system.

My favorite version is the gene-edited cats and accompanying folk song.

Just pointing out that some people may have mayors that are more symbolic than anything so it’s not unreasonable to assume the mayor of NYC is similar. I’m not disagreeing per se.

When I was in grade school we had multiple lessons on using Boolean search terms to find useful information. Google-fu used to mean something.

What a mayor does varies rather a lot between cities.
