George Washington was elected as President on April 6, 1789 in a unanimous decision by the 69 delegates at then capital city of the United States - New York City (see: http://www.cyberlearning-world.com/nhhs/amrev/geowash.htm ).  He took the oath of office on April 30, 1789.  \n\nI hope this and the website I posted help you!!!

The 20th amendment sets that as the day of inauguration. They chose that date because it allowed Congress sufficient time to count the electoral votes and certify the election. The election takes place in November and the electoral colleges meet in December, at which time the current session of Congress ends. The new session then returns after New Year's on January 3rd and certifies the electoral vote leaving plenty of time for dealing with any discrepancies.

Article Two of the US Constitution lays out the formal requirements to be elected President of the United States:\n\n"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."\n\nIn short, at the time of a President's innauguration, the person elected must be at least age 35, have lived in the United States for at least 14 years and must be a natural born citizen.   The definition of a natural born citizen is a bit vague but most people think that it means the President must have been born in the US and not a a naturalized citizen.  \n\nOther than the above, there are no formal qualifications to be President.  You do not need a college degree.

The general election, which happens every two years (although we vote for president every FOUR), will be held on the first Tuesday AFTER the first Monday in November.\n\nIf you like how the countries going, vote Republican.  If you want things to change, vote Democrat.\n\nMake sure you're registered to vote, otherwise you can't.

Clause 2 of the 25th amendment:\n\n"Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."\n\nThis is the closest mention of anything in the Constitution.  I would assume that if he hasn't been inaugurated yet, the President-elect would have more leniency in picking his next VP with no vote by Congress.

Most importantly,\nThere is an election on Nov. 7......Vote Democrat, and help our country towards a balance of power, and hopefully less bickering and more problem solving.

Their system is different than ours. His party has already told him that he is OUT but they get to pick a specific time for the next election. I believe I heard it was next March.

It is unlikely that a Presidential Election would be inevitable. If the President dies, becomes permanently incapicitated, resigns or is impeached, he or she is replaced by the Vice President. The line of succession then goes to the Speaker of the House, then the President Pro Tempore then the members of the Cabinet. This is a list of the current presidential line of succession, as specified by the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 (3 U.S.C. § 19).\n\n* Dick Cheney, Vice President \n* J. Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the House of Representatives \n* Ted Stevens, President pro tempore of the Senate \n* Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State \n* John W. Snow, Secretary of the Treasury \n* Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense \n* Alberto Gonzales, Attorney General \n* Gale Norton, Secretary of the Interior \n* Mike Johanns, Secretary of Agriculture \n* Carlos Gutierrez, Secretary of Commerce (ineligible due to birth outside U.S.) \n* Elaine Chao, Secretary of Labor (ineligible due to birth outside U.S.) \n* Michael Leavitt, Secretary of Health and Human Services \n* Alphonso Jackson, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development \n* Norman Y. Mineta, Secretary of Transportation \n* Samuel W. Bodman, Secretary of Energy \n* Margaret Spellings, Secretary of Education \n* Jim Nicholson, Secretary of Veterans Affairs \n\nAs yet, the Secretary of Homeland Security has not been added to the list. The only possibility of needing an election would be if all of the people on the list were incapable of doing the job which is unlikely. Further, proposals to cover this remote eventuality focus on adding the state Governors in terms of seniority to the list.

Just like the Presidential nominee, by the convention delegates.\n\nThe Presidential candidate has recently chosen his running mate, but officially the VP slot on the ticket can only be filled according to the votes of the convention delegates. And yes, that is an official procedure.

It will be two more years before the Presidential Election.  John McKane, maybe.  Two years is a long time.  Bush will have served his time.  We will have to find someone to take his place.

That will be decided in the November election. It has not yet been given a number. You will get a pamphlet with all the election information closer to the election.

In the US, elections are always on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. That means November 7th this year.\n\nAnd I wish more congresswhores were worried they'd lose their cushy country-club membership. But they have effectively made many laws over the years giving incumbents huge advantages in elections for that very reason.
