I can't find a definitive answer anywhere. I want to know who decided that we should use FPTP but what I really want to know is who can change that to something else.

- I'm talking about Presidential elections. So, it would take a constitutional amendment to get away from the FPTP system we use today? Gotcha. - Krusty Jan 25, 09:50 1
  - heck, it's been hard enough just to get to a straight popular vote FPTP scheme (not even halfway there), let alone trying something more exotic. -- nm - znufrii Jan 25, 09:57
