What would be the state of the country if something were to happen to the president?

A state of shock because there would not be enough beer to have a party that big if Bush got clipped.

Umm if the President dies, the Vice President steps into office...

Not likely. The U.S has made a bad thing worse. Bush is a war-monger, and as long as he's in power, war is inevitable.

They serve until their term is over. If they served until the war was over every President would start a war near the end of their term.

none of the above....the president takes the power away from congress...unless its his own party in control

That depends. If there's a hurricane on the same day, Bush would show up a week later and therefore lose by default.

No, but he could declare "martial law", and halt all elections - thereby remaining president indefinately.\n\nI've included a link with more details.

If only we were so lucky. \n\nYes I definitely would. The country did great under his leadership. He could turn the economy around and re-build foreign relations again. \n\nI'd rather have a president that lied about his sex life than one that lied about nuclear weapons.

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 will start with small erosions of US rights, timed just so that we don't put all the pieces together until it's too late. Perhaps an illegal election? (check) Someone hiding behind religion or terror as a response to everything? (check and Check)  A leader who doesn't understand warfare, yet is quick to send the troops to war, with no plan, no end,  no scope, just wanting the underlings to protect HIM (Check, Check and Check) An empirical ruler who  will sacrifice all rights to discredit anyone who goes against him (Valerie Plame and her husband, Check) Slowly you start to lose your rights (we can listen on your phone calls) Check.  The country runs out of money and either has to count on money that's not there (Iraqi oil Check) or money you fabricate (As long as there's ink we'll keep printing money.  Check) \nA puppet being played for a fool by others higher up than them? (check, check) then there's the absolute cronyism that comes with being in absolute power (Haliburtan, et al, Check) because you're too thick and do everything as a knee jerk reaction and don't care about the "People" anymore,  they are not your friends they are trying to destroy you!( Maniacal Check, check, check) \nThe environment is ruined for generations to come because your empirical thinking doesn't go past the next day. (check) The Allies that were once your countries (not YOURS, your countries) friends turn against you as a leader so ipso facto the country (check) You start a home based fear in your own country, BE WARNED guys it's coming... it's either gays or foreign people. He's dipping into the pool of public opinion with both.  Illegal immigration anyone? Gay Marriage? Like the Jews in Germany, someone will be made a target.  The common theme in any end of an empire is that a power hungry fool brought it down, (CHECK< CHECK< CHECK>>>>) Then after dividing the country and the world at this point, someone will take over.  Hopefully it will be afriendly someone, but after his antics, not likely.

i know there would some details and such to work out, and it could get a little chaotic, but i've often thought that a president should get auto-booted out of office when his approval rating drops below 50%.  he is after all suppose to elected my a majority of the people and to serve the people.\nmight keep more politicians on track instead of seeing a government office as a way to further their careers and wallet.

I'd put a new president in the White House.  Preferably one with actual knowledge of what the nation and the world is going through.  And also a new Senate, a new Congress, and new Supreme Court judges.

A good President should be corrupt, credulous, in bed with various special interests, and easy to bribe.  Otherwise he will make his own decisions on how the country should be run, which is a bad thing, considering most of the people we've had in that office.
