1. The approval rating for the US Congress is lower than that of the President
2. There is a system in place to remove a President from office. It is called "impeachment" but it only can be invoked in the event that the person in office commits an "impeachable offense" which President Bush has not done.
3. We have an orderly system of government in America - once someone is elected, they generally serve out their term as long as they do not commit any impeachable offenses, and we don't just "kick people out of office" for making decisions that we don't agree with.

In America, the president is elected for a 4 year term. Bush was elected to a second 4 year term in 2004. He will leave after the 2008 elections. Unless he is impeached (convicted by congress of a crime) he can not be "kicked out"

There is a movement to impeach Bush/Cheney but it's a long and difficult process. Consensus has to be built.
Dennis Kucinich has drafted legislation and he is a presidential candidate.
Currently, the belief is that there aren't enough votes in Congress to get an impeachment.
But a few of us believe they should go ahead anyway even if it's just a symbol.
Bush/Cheney and company do not represent me. They are fear mongers. They are building a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It's much harder to oust a US president than it is to get rid of prime minister under the Parliamentary system. Only one president, Richard Nixon, has been kicked out of office in 220 years.

You hear from Americans from a small group. They are loud I agree but most Americans are called the "Silent Majority" they speak only with their votes as shown in the last election.

Studies consistently show that those who are more likely to get out and vote tend to be 1) older Americans (both family-oriented, and the elderly), and 2) Religious (or those focused of moral issues - like abortion and gay rights). I think the younger Americans are less likely to go out and vote.
If every American aged 18-35 voted then, I feel, most U.S. elections would end up differently - as well as the issues of focus for that matter.

that's part of Democracy... sometimes you get a leader that lets people down and loses his popularity... but unlike other systems of government.. we only have to put up with it for 4 years before we vote someone else in... in other systems he'd be in for life.
In this way.. the system balances itself out. Pretty neat idea really, isn't it.

You can only be removed from office if you break the law and then not always then. ie Bill Clinton.
