What if we end up with no president?

There will always be a president.  Someone always wants the office...many as the ultimate power trip.  Think of it, the fame and power of being the elected head of a country.  Unfortunately, that doesn't mean the brightest and the best...it usually means a wealthy, dishonest, career politician with his own agenda...not a normal, intelligent, middle income john q. public who really cares about the U.S. and the people.  Just my own opinion....

To soon for what we have already gotten done,  it is sad people will have died likely for nothing all due to politics.  We just need to give them a little more time to get their Government up and running, well instead of us running.

Then our society will be in trouble. Because everything starts at the top and works its way down. If there's no leadership or management, people will do the same who work under the government and then our society can run a muck out of control. It's good that we have leaders who are enforcing the laws and such in government. They have to work with people on knowing how to handle millions of people.=>

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.

maybe there will be, if anyone with some sense ever comes into money and decides to run for president. until then, we're out of luck. if we don't like the democrat or the republican, we're stuck with people like nader. great, huh? :P

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.

I'm not sure. .\nBut after the voting theres a better chance that we will pull out. . But if we pull out think of all the familys of the people who have died over there. . That basically makes it look like they died for nothing. .

Your aditional information is half right - Senate terms are 6 years each (staggered one third at a time,every two years), but the House of Representatives has terms of only 2 years, so that every two years the US votes for 1/3rd of the Senators, and the entire House of Representatives.\n\nAs for your question about what happens if there's a vacancy that arises, there are no by-elections in the US.  Instead, the state's Governor gets to appoint a new Senator of his choosing for the rest of the term.  That Senator can be from either party, so it's very important not to die as a Senator if the Governor of your state is from a different party than you. ;)

All laws are drafted in Congress, after they pass through Congress the president may sign them and they become law.  We don't have a king or laws decreeded by the king/President.

Government leaders are still relavent, but is the process of nominating and electing them?  That's the bigger question.  If we can't control the systems that places leaders in positions of power, then what becomes of democracy?

I have wondered that and kind of would like to see that day.  It wont happen until a third party stops trying to win at the top of the ballot and learns to win at the bottom.  Americans will not vote for someone they havent heard of for national office.  I was thinking about how a major third party could have changed the outcome yesterday.  If no party received a majority, two parties would have to come together and form some sort of coalition for the purpose of leadership votes, who gets chairmanships, etc.

most unlikely is Micheal Jackson. I think it will be...I am not sure who would make a good president
