So what would happen if noone voted at all, would there still be someone going into office?

You are absolutely right. If noone in this country voted for anyone, then YES, there would still be someone elected for office. They would still say that there were voters, even when there wasn't. Actually, the day we all agree to NOT vote........ Period, is the day that the goverment officials won't care, it will no longer matter that we find out that its all staged at that point, because by then, they have us so controled and under wraps per say, that we won't be able to do anything anyway. Its rather funny I think. 30% of the people here in the USA don't vote even if they are registered to. 15-20% are not registered voters. Then you have all the felons and the prisons and those that have lost their voting priveledge. Thats another 30%. At least. There is still a large portion of the people that vote in the USA, however, its the higher elected officials who's votes matter. Watch the poles, you can see it for your own eyes. Its the majority votes in the house and the senate that counts. NOT US. They just do this to make us think that we count, that the people still have a say even though we don't. It won't be long now before this country turns its own army against us. We will be a police country before long. Its sad. We thought we were free, and all along, we were given a little while they were taking alot away from us. We never saw it comeing. We work for a small pay that barely keeps our heads above the water. If work applied with you instead of you appling to work for them, what would be your self worth? How much would you charge that company to employ you? I bet it would be more then $6 -$9 an hour. I know my self worth, sweat, and hard labor is worth more then that to me. But to this country......... our physical body labor and the pains and the down falls from that labor that comes when we are older is and means nothing to the officials of this country. What is their hard labor? Signing wagers, ledgers, passing new laws, making meetings, lunches, dinners, riding in limos, have security to protect them, making public announcments. And how much do they earn? A few million a year, live in a big fancy, comfortable home, and never worry about getting through the day with a nickle, a quarter, and a few pennies in their pockets because they just paid the rent, their car insurance, and the light bill. We are real trouble, and we have been since Bush got into office. Noone thought twice about this. Come to find out, this war was all about the Iraq oil. Bush and his greed to have their oil. This is what our husbands, and sons, and daughters, and wives are dieing for and have died for. Blessed be.................\n\nPs... when is it that we make the laws and decide on new ledgers and how and when are the people invited to make these  changes or not? We don't. We are given a few to vote on during the voteing period, but look at the majority of law changes and new laws being added that are soulie up to the goverment officials, the house and the senate and the president everyday, that we are not apart of, that we find out once they have been made and decided for US.............. We never had a say in anything. we are pawns on a chess board and its the goverment that is playing us on a daily basis.

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.

should be something in place whereas "X" amount of votes are discounted/removed from any running politician that in any way lies/is deceptive about their competitior.  would clean things up.

yes and no. Yes as in the way that they opften are members of paliament and therefore elected by popular vote. No, as it is the decision of government who gets which job.

It depends on the organization's by-laws. It may or may not be legitimate, but the person elected certainly doesn't have to take the position it they don't want it.

if political career ends just with one scam........ no one will be in politics even a year.  scams are just tides.

Absolutely not. It would disenfranchise wide swaths of the poor who have just as much a right to vote as anyone else.

Sure they could. It's called voting. People need to direct more thought into voting. The American people vote their representatives into office, who in turn get to make the laws and vote for the President. Too many people sit idly by and don't make sure their voices are heard. Whenever there is an issue that I strongly have an opinion about, I make sure to call my Representative's office-be it a local, state, or Federal issue. This is the only way to make sure your opinion gets recorded! They are your elected reps. and are there for you, to vote according to the people of their districts. Signatures on a petition are just an amplification of this. Also, if more people who disagree with the system and would take action to run for office can you imagine the changes that would ocurr? I'm not saying any nutjob can get elected, but if you make sense and others agree with you then why not give it a try? People need to realize they are vested in the actions of this country whether they agree with them or not. We need to eliminate the people from office who do not represent our views as a whole. Our society needs to take action! Stop saying "It doesn't matter when I vote, so I'm not going to vote". That kind of attitude is what's gotten our system into the sorry mess it's in now. If you don't vote or take action, others who do vote will get control of things & quite possibly do things you don't agree with.

He can't be elected to another term. There's no way to covertly assume that power, and the act of assuming the authority to run again would turn off enough voters that he'd lose the election.

It all depends on how badly the current republican guard performs.  If it gets bad enough, people will just vote for change REGARDLESS of what the alternative appears to be.
