If majority rules in a democracy, and 71% of the U.S. thinks the prez blew it, then why is he still in office?

Question

I'm just sayin'.

BTW , I'm well aware how democracy works.....I'm being facetious to get my commie, hippy, lefty, liberal opinion out there. But really, hot the hell has this guy not been impeached yet. i mean, at least Clinton worked while he was getting head. This dude can't even be bothered to cut a vacation short.

Answer 1

USA is not a democracy. It is a republic.

Answer 2

Loving father....hit it on the nail !! Could not have said it better....

71% of the U.S. do not. This is only a poll number obviously, and certainly one of the most distorted ones I've seen. A poll can be manipulated to get the answers that the poll creaters are seeking - they can choose their audience, they can write the questions, etc... This is not at all a good indicator of what the people think of our president. He's still in office because the American people voted him into office - TWICE. Following this 4 year term, we'll see exactly how the people feel about his party in the fall of 2008, when the next presidential election takes place.

Today, our president's ratings are up to 40%....

Answer 4

Because the only way to remove a sitting president is for him to resign (highly unlikey), or for him to be impeached. Impeachment requires congress to find him guilty of an offense (like leaking a CIA operative's identity, going to war on false pretenses...) And then voting to remove him from office. And the Republican's have controlled congress for his whole term. This fall, elect Democratic Senators and Congressmen - then there will be more accountability and Bush's actions will be far more limited.

Thought I doubt he'll leave office until 2008

Remember, if Bush were removed. Cheney would become president.

Answer 5

He cheated his way into to begin with and than he pulled a pitty trip on america about 911 and terr... but it boils down to him paying off more than just a few people!! can't wait for his term to be done!! he is to busy using the war as an ancor for his postion in government... I think personal america should have a vote to see if they should keep the war going or pull out and mind our business..My husband is there and him and more than half the people don't even know why!! they are walking around with no orders.. and another quick thing, my husband is with a sargent that personaly killed binladdin!! the presiadent just needs something to excuse his unrashtionaly thoughts..

Answer 6

Our democracy is not based on phone polls. It is based on elections. Bush won the election so therefore he is prez until his term expires. If people don't like the way our gov works they need to get in the system and change the laws.

Answer 7

Lying Comes Naturally to Republicans
Whenever Republican politicians find themselves in trouble, their automatic knee-jerk reaction is to blame Democrats. If there is nothing to blame Democrats for, they merely make something up - they lie. This is exactly what the Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman, following the lead of his boss George W. Bush, has done and is doing. He is placing the blame of the mean and punitive House immigration bill on the Democrats, when he knows that it is an outrageous lie.
"To be anti- George Bush is to be pro-American,"

I think he's dangerous, and he has to be stopped."

Go Democrats~!

Answer 8

No kidding!!!! Democracy in the United States?!?! More like socialism... IMPEACH BUSH NOW (since not five years ago).

In addition, what about prosecuting him for war crimes against citizens of the United States of America? (ie. those who died on 9/11/01.)

Answer 9

There are no checks and balances in the current administration. This sucks! Even though the vast majority of America is not behind this president, the other two branches of government are.

Answer 10

Democracy calls for the elective process

Answer 11

What planet are you from , Dixie Cup? Most of us think he's done a hell of a job. Didn't betray the country like BJ Clinton, or give it all away like Carter.

Its the gay marriage thing, right?
