The mid-term elections are being held on 7th November 2006, this has no bearing on who is president - it will only effect the congress and senate. The results will be close and should be known during the night or during the next day. I've actually got the Wedneday off work to watch the results come in and then to sleep during the day.\n\nThe presidential elections are on 4th November 2008, the result should be known the following day. With the new president being sworn in on or around the 20th January 2009.\n\nOne thing is known for sure - the US consitution only allows a president to stand for election for two terms, so George W Bush will not be president after the 2008 elections.

It depends where you work.  If you work for the government, you always get national holidays off.  Most businesses seem to let their workers take off Independence day (July 4) and Christmas.  If you work in the fast food business, you don't get off automatically for ANY holiday other than Christmas.  That's to the best of my knowledge.

as george w said himself "the president's duty is to make decisions,in other words he is a desision maker".\nyes the (main) president's duty is to make decicions in order to provide comfort for it's people,and comfort may contain security ,prosperity,...\nbut about his powers you ought to ask your question another way "what are not the powers of the president"!\nofcourse president's power is limited by the congress but if if they are concordant to him then his got almost any power!!!

He makes very little moeny actually, especially when considering the fact that he's basically on the job 24/7, even when he's on vacation. In fact, accounting for inflation, the President has not made as little since 1873. When the President's salary was raised in 1909, the inflation adjusted rate was $1,419,792.55 in 2001 dollars, compared to his last raise to $400,000, less than a third as much.

Both are called "Mr. President."  It's up to them to remember whether they are currently in office or not!

Article 2, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution reads:\n\nThe President "...shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient..."\n\nIt has become custom that this address is given once a year, usually in January or February.

Of course today is a happy day. This is the day that we can all do something that will actually make a difference. Today is the day you can tell the leaders of your country you arent happy with them and change the course of our country.

This only happened to one president.\n\nThe Skull andBoners who pull his strings thought it would be funny to tell him there is a "Presidential Initiation", a secret ceremony that binds all the presidents together in a brotherhood of power. They've made him do it twice. It consists of eating a can of sardines and 30 prunes, standing naked in the Whitehouse rose garden at 04:00 the morning after the inauguration and hopping up and down on one foot and then the other. Has to go on until dawn.

Most likely NOT, as most people, I believe, Party on Friday or Saturday.  Just responding the question as it was posed.

The Bible says to pray for your leaders.  Besides, if you kids could possibly understand the tremendous amount of pressure a president could be under, vacation would bring on a totally different meaning.

A bank holiday wasn't a new deal program. It was when the President ordered banks to remain closed on regular business days in the immediate aftermath of the stock market crash to avoid having runs on the banks and have them go completely insolvent, making more people loose money and making more people run on banks.

President's Day is a public holiday and the Post office closes as a government agency. "Washington's Birthday" is the designated holiday in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees.

All the people in the Executive Branch of government ultimately answer to the President.  This includes, but is not limited to, those who work in the White House, the Office of Management and Budget, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Energy, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Homeland Security, and many more.  These departments are run by people who are directly appointed by the President, and who generally follow the President's wishes in managing their department (because if they didn't they'd be replaced).  So in turn, all the people who work in these departments under the departmental managers could be said to work for the President.

Wakes up, gets a special top-secret 'state of the world' security briefing, then another briefing informing him of major events that happened literally while he was sleeping.  Afterwards, he meets with his full cabinet, then probably meets seperately with his closest cabinet officials and their aides behind closed doors to discuss pressing matters (in this case Iraq, the Palestinian elections, for example) in more detail. Afterwards, he probably catches up on world events from  a more 'casual' perspective (such as a civilian newspaper or the news).  He might have a string of meetings and appointments with dignitaries, congressmen, special interests lobbyists and so on in a pretty much back-to-back basis.  In the evening, he has dinner, then more briefings on events which happened during the day (which would be 'overnight' in some time zones).  He may also be consulted in pressing military concerns, since he is Commander in Chief, but this would obviously be on far-away operations and overall questions (in this day and age, war moves too quickly for one man to literally 'command' everything).  During the rest of the afternoon he's on the phones constantly with world leaders, UN delegates, NATO officials, royalty and heads of state of all manner, officials at the World Bank and IMF and various others as the often forgotten 'behind the scenes' power structure that keeps our world functioning goes on.  There may be some guest appearances in there for good measure.  The President is arguably the most important figure in the modern world, and his opinion and actions set in motion a great many events.  So I'm sure his schedule is constantly busy, even though it might not appear that way.
