Do you think we could get 75% of our states to join in a recall election for presidency?

There is no provision in the Constitution for a recall of the President.  The only recourse against a President is impeachment which is done by the Congress.  In order for the public to have the President removed, they would need to pressure their Congresspersons to impeach him.

I think so. But if the GOP had squeaked out a victory all we would hear is the liberals talking about voter fraud.

Possible? Yes. Probable? No.\n\nThe politicians in power have redrawn the voting districts to such a degree that many politicians run unopposed, because there's no way anyone else can get enough votes in their districts to unseat them. To get them out, it will take the people who put them in in the first place to stand up and demand a change.\n\nFrankly, I don't see it happening.

If you really want to make an impact, try writing your local government officials (mayor, US. Representive, Senator) with a signed statement with lots of signatures. I'm sure your not the only person who wants things to change. Just because 70% of the local population is made up of idiots doesn't mean 15% can't make a dent.

Impeachment is reserved for 'high crimes and misdemeanors'. Incompetence doesn't qualify - if it did, half of the government would be gone.

I think that the Bush administration may be trying to do something like that, but the public is much more cynical than it was in 1980 when the Reagan adminstration pulled off theirs.  If they did it, they might see a boost in their base, but the backlash might hurt them even more.  I could see the Dems saying, "well, why didn't you find them earlier?" and the public dismissing it off as a political stunt.  \n\nIt also wouldn't surprise me if the public believed that the Bush adminstration planted them there as a trick.  I could definitely see it happening, because the lack of trust in the adminstration right now is an all-time low, and I doubt a trick like that would work in this election.

We can sure hope so. It's starting off pretty good. Our Nation needs to support unity and good thinking. Time will tell.

It is possible, but highly unlikely this would happen.  There are thousands who would love to be president.  It is the American Dream to grow up and be president.

History tells us it will go near 10%.\n\nThanks Dems!\n\nOdessa? Unemployment is at 4.4% right now. It can't go down 10 - 15%. I can't believe the let people who know nothing about the issues vote.\n\n.

It seems quite possible that this will be the case (though it really depends on who the election seems to favor).  It certainly would not be the first instance in recent memory where questions concerning absentee ballots and voter machines turned the election into a sleazy media debacle.  \n\nNo doubt, whoever comes out on top will immediately take steps  to "fix" the system (which has apparently become too complicated for the folks charged with counting the ballots), and prevent any future confusion.

No. It sounds like a good idea given the nature of certain presidents elected in the past, but this would be way too complicated.  It's likely  registered voters of the opposing party would mostly vote against the incumbent, meaning the incumbent would need to spend his entire first year in office campaigning to protect himself against being voted out.  If this were the case, the President would have no track record to go on.  It would cost the country hundreds of millions of dollars more in campaign funds that could go to better use, and would distract the executive branch, the media, and the general public from focusing on real issues.  \n\nThe ultimate solution to this is for voters to do some more research before they vote.  Look at track records, look at the candidate's real stance on the issues, and resist being spun by the propaganda machines that dictate campaigns.  That's probably unlikely to happen though.

Why not. He's already stripped everything off most of us Americans.Might be nice to see him do something positive that would reflect his administration and how he handles his job. TAKE IT OFF!!!!

only in certain states and only if you live there and it have to happen over a number of years.  Sorry, but I think the answer is no.

Everyone is welcome to speak on our electorate process in our country,everyone's opinion is welcome. There were were no major problems in this election,as in the last Presidential election where Florida and Supreme Court got involved in choosing our last President. \n  The people in this country are tired of the killing and the mayhem of the Middle East,and we tried to solve the process by helping out,but it has only made the situation worse. The Voting Public of this country spoke loud and clear on this issue this past election. \n  Thank you for your input and your concern of a big major world crisis,and hopefully our legislatures will solve the problem in the upcoming months..it takes time.

YES!!!  I agree with you that it should be a priority, but it wont happen--it would've happened already.  If we let him stay after the Florida debacle and the Ohio debacle, they arent going to remove the administration any time soon.  Doesnt matter who gets elected.  I agree that it could restore confidence around the world, but they already hate us and our arrogance, I dont think much will change that.  Will never happen.

It works well, particularly in making smaller states matter. The majority of the states would stand to lose a significant amount of voting power if we went to a straight popular majority system. The president needs to represent the largest possible crossection of the country, which can't happen if he just caters to the large population centers, which is exactly what would happen without the electoral college.

I believe the question is asking whether the official, in his official capacity, should have a voice on whether their own recall should be sent to the voters. In that case, no, as their vote would be a clear conflict of interest and they should have to recuse themselves from any votes on the matter.
