He doesn't have to change his mind for the people again unless he wants be reelected.

If politicians change their mind all the time, we do not know what they'll do once elected, and therefore we do not know what it is we choose when we vote for them.

To me that sounds exactly like we do not know what sort of president the American people have elected -- And that does not sound like a good form of democracy.
