Why can't we vote to not have a president?

Simply, we have a constitution that states we have a president.  It is possible to change it, but understand that throughout the world, we have one of the most stable elected government.  We have two choices because we have two major political parties.  There has been other parties with different platforms, but those platforms were absorbed by the major parties.  Having too many parties is not good.  Just like having too many choices.

It will never happen.  Our whole system was specifically set up to keep people like you from becoming President.

Are you aware of the Jim Crow laws? They made intelligence tests required. Remember, this legally keeps people from voting. I think almost everyone has an opinion. We should all be allowed to vote, even if we don't like who the people choose. I think if you don't vote everyone should know, and you should be banned from complaining. If you don't care enough about your nation to vote for the leader, what gives you the right to complain about it? This, of course, could not apply to those under eighteen or who were not of legal voting age when the last election occured. I think voter education would be much more productive. Politicians need to tell everyone exactly where they stand on topics, there need to be sheets comparing each persons stand on hot issues distributed to the masses. This can be difficult to do, but if all parties joined to make it happen, we would have smarter voters. People would, in theory, vote for politicians they side with. Then you would know whomever is in office is the favorite.

Why don't follow him, he rules us and we can't change it, if you read about the election you will see that we didn't even vote him into office...

The last time I voted was when Bill Clinton was elected.  I voted once before that.  I chose not to vote in the past elections because I never felt there was a candidate worth his salt or my time.\n\nI know some say that if you don't vote you don't get change but if I had voted and it made a difference- would we really have been better off with the likes of Kerry in the white house.  People say anyone would be better than Bush and that may be so- but at the time of the election- I sure didnt feel we would be better with Kerry and I didn't want to see Bush there so I chose not to choose.

People dont vote for many reasons.  I am a deputy registrar and am surprised when prople wont even register to vote. Some dont vote because they are afraid they will get called for jury duty, others because they dont feel there are any honest candidates.  I vote in every election, every time.

In addition to the fact that such a law is unconstitutional and could only have a chance if it came about through a ratified Constitutional Amendment (which would never pass).  It would likely demonstrate that un-a-lined voters out numbered members of the two major parties.\n\nIf ever enacted it could have an unexpected result, that is, the same number of people who don’t vote today say, “I still won’t vote, come and get me.”  \n\nIt might be a better idea to give people some reason to want to vote.  Say, by adding something interesting to the ballot.  As. . . . . the final line for each elective office have it say, “None of the above.” And have that line able to win.  That would mean that some elective office could end up with no office holder until a new election were held.  That could mean that the candidates would have to actual, and honestly, serve the electorate.

The President has thats for sure, but I don't think that most ppl would agree with him. Its a shame but theres nothing we can do about it exept vote!!!

Christians or any religion can vote however they choose.  The great thing about America is your vote is private.  No one dictates how anyone has to vote.

The last answer was closest to the truth. The question isn't should we, because we already do vote on it. When we elect our government officials, they in turn make vote in Congress and the senate. So we do vote but rather indirectly. Certainly we would all like to have a louder voice but that is the very drawback of democracy we only get one vote, the majority rules. No...we don't always THINK the majority is right but we have to live with it. It is best to accept it rather than contiually fighting against it.

Reasons not to vote\n\nWe are to pray for our leaders. The bible tells us to do that. We are also supposed to follow the laws (like not speeding etc) unless the Laws go against God.\n \nAs Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, the president is explicitly charged with the duty of maintaining the military, defending our borders and preserving national interests through the use of violence if necessary or expedient. If I, as a follower of Christ, could not conscientiously serve in that role, then how can I in good conscience cast my support for someone else to do that in my stead? I am nonresistant.\n \nIn the past, members of the Anabaptist tradition have paid a very high price for their view —loss of property, forced emigration, imprisonment, and even martyrdom have all been a part of our collective story. \nVoting, after all, is not just a “right.” It is also a “rite”—a ritual of identity and loyalty binding the individual to the nation. Abstaining from elections signal that our first loyalty is to the worldwide fellowship of Christian believers, not to the nation-state. \n\n Jesus is my basis. He said follow me and enter the kingdom of heaven. He made no mention of service to another government. He also said to swear not. We are taught to say yes or no.\n\nWhen we as strangers and pilgrims are hindered by the laws of the land we are in, we submit without complaint or leave.\n\nThe gospel has been lived and preached in every land with persecution.\n\nWhen we live by his law and bless our rulers and enemies we are following his example even when it gets us imprisoned or killed.\n\nJerusalem in the days of King Solomon was a lot like America today with its "FREEDOM OF RELIGION" and BUSINESS,and like America and Europe today it was one big brothel.\n\nIt doesn't matter who is elected, the winner will not defend and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ even if he or she goes to church..\n\nBeing born in the United States I have many advantages, mainly that I can peacefully descent but that day is passing quickly as Satans world government takes over.\n \nChristian allegiance can only be to that one kingdom--the Kingdom of God. The second chapter of Daniel illustrates the kingdoms of the world and the final one kingdom that will rule the world in righteousness-the Kingdom of God. True disciples of Christ respect the flags of all nations but give allegiance to the flag of no nation. Our allegiance is to a kingdom that will never fall (Daniel 2:44). \nAs Christian believers, we are not first and finally citizens of the USA. We are citizens of Heaven. It is best not to speak of America as ,.our" country. It is not our country. It is the country in which we happen to have been born. None of us had a choice about where we should be born. What if you had been born in Pakistan or North Korea or Cuba? Would you be patriotic there? Then why should you be patriotic here in the USA? \n\nDuring World War 11, Lutherans fought for Germany and Lutherans fought for America. They killed each other. Why? For patriotism and for the glory of God. Does that make sense to you? They were, each in turn, patriotic for their own country.\n\nIf we vote, we are selecting a representative to act for us as individuals. When that representative makes choices and decisions, we are then obligated to support them. This could include going to war. If they declare war, that blood could well be on our hands. Those citizens who participate in the process of selecting civil officials (governors and presidents)--are then obligated to support the decisions of the officers when they are in office.\n\nWhat does the Bible say about our citizenship? Philippians 3:20 clearly tells us that our citizenship is in Heaven. Hebrews 13:14 says that God's people are looking for a country because they have no continuing city here. The Bible further says that we are ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20). An ambassador is a person representing a foreign count

I'll 2nd that...the 1st part of your question anyway.\nNo one can vote for Bush next election. An American president can only remain in office for 2 terms - 8 years. He's done that...without my help of course.

They didn't. Most Americans did not vote for Bush. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans did not vote at all.

I vote, but I live in the U.S.  In my opinion voting is definitely important.  I also think that people that don't vote should not run their mouths about who is currently in office because had they taken the time to go vote they may have been able to sway the outcome of the election.
