We need to be told what informed the second Tuesday of August every fifth year after the election. However, ideally from my perspective, it was also an issue of ensuring that there would be no anxiety. This is because in the previous years, whenever there were elections, people never knew the actual date. So, there was a lot of anxiety and question marks. The President actually held that date very close to his chest. So, the idea of giving a date in the Constitution was to ease this anxiety. There is no really major problem between one date and another, as long as it is clearly defined and stipulated in the Constitution. I support the third Monday of every fifth year in December, so that we can also know the date in advance and prepare for it."}
