Libs, If Bush is a "Dictator" Wouldn't He Refuse to Leave Office in 2009?

Question

I haven't heard any of the roughly 300 elected Dems in DC say that they expect Bush to refuse to leave the White House.

Answer 1

It's not close to 2009 yet, is it?

Answer 2

Actually you raise a very good question.
I wonder if Bush WILL leave office in 2009. Considering all the illegally accumulated power and the recent executive orders, I speculate there is a 25% chance that the next " domestic terrorism event" will empower the Bush administration to temporarily suspend elections, the Constitution, and declare martial law.
- Consider this: if the people who put Bush into power were willing to steal a national election in 2000, start a bogus war under false pretenses, and urge
under the MCA of October 17, 2006 the suspension of habeas corpus...
What is to assure me the Cheney / Bush administration will abandon power?
And given all the crimes they have committed, can they afford to be held accountable ? Good question.

Answer 3

It is extremely unlikely that Bush will not leave the White house at the expiration of this term. it has never before happend in our country and probably never will happen. Even presidents who lead our country have always left office or sought reelection. Reelection for Bush is not possible.

Most people at this point do not like Bush. Bush, however, is part of our Democratic process. He will leave office when he is supposed to leave.

By the way there are 435 members of Congress not 300 as hinted by a prior answer.

Answer 4

If President Bush had a good reason to declare a nationwide emergency, he has a constitutional staggering to stay in place of work, which constitutionalists could comply with. i'm effective that if Obama have been elected, there could be a delegation of racists thanking their luck as to the time at which the emergency occurred, and a lot of of the rabid Bush supporters and the rather extreme-high quality people who prefer to offer him a third risk could additionally back him on that. All in all, confident. many human beings could be in help of Bush's ascension to Marshal Commander (the valid term for dictator), in spite of the reality that throughout the time of all risk no longer the vast majority of persons. in all risk the comparable parent (30%) as like Bush besides, in spite of the reality that it would not be completely composed of that team.

Answer 5

Bush cannot refuse to leave office. He is an elected official, by the people, for the people. If he refused t leave he would be impeached by the senate. He could be forcibly removed by the police.
That is what a Democracy is.

Answer 6

I don't think the United States is at the point yet where Bush could get away with that. However, no doubt he wants to see the republican party get back in, and over enough terms to turn the United States into George Orwell's 1984.

Answer 7

that is a bunch of BS. I am a lib, but those who say that are just picking irrational arguments for no good reason. They just want another thing to fight about, and it goes nowhere like most of the BS the dem, libs, and repubs alike, come up with. I really don't understand why the public has to come up with such crap when there are more important issues at hand.

Answer 8

Actually, he would if he was a dictator, but seeing the we have the checks and balancing system, there is no possible way that he could be a dictator , in order to Be a dictator, he would have to have complete control of the armed forces. to force our country under his rule, but since we have congress and the judicial branch, its impossible for that to happened.

Answer 9

I believe that if he could, he would. And I'm not just applying this to Bush. Expect something like this in your life time. Do not let politicians render the Constitution useless

Answer 10

I don't think even D!ck Cheney thinks they can stay in power one second longer than legally mandated.
People would storm 1600 Pennsylvania Ave with torches and pitchforks if they were still there.
