Noun
- The head of state of a republic, a representative democracy and sometimes (in cases of constitutional violations) a dictatorship.
- The primary leader of a corporation. Not to be confused with CEO, which is a related but separate position that is sometimes held by a different person.
...President is a title held by many leaders of organizations, companies, trade unions, universities, and countries. Etymologically, a "president" is one who presides, who sits in leadership (from Latin pre- "before" + sedere "to sit"; giving the term praeses). Originally, the term referred to the presiding officer of a ceremony or meeting (i.e., chairman), but today it most commonly refers to an official. Among other things, president today is a common title for the heads of state of most republics, whether popularly elected, chosen by the legislature or by a special electoral college. It is also often adopted by dictators. Read full entry

If the Vice-President Would the Vice-President still
run the country or would the
chain of command be followed
and the Speaker of the House
automatically be made
president or would the
Vice-President be made
president until convicted of
the murder of the president?

The usual trial activities. There is nothing in the Constitution that limits the right of the vice president to become president except the president staying alive. |

What year did the president From what I recall, the winner
of the presidential election
became president and the loser
became vice president. What
year did this change to where
the president and vice
president run together on one
ticket? I'd assume that having
someone from one party as
president and another party as
vice was problematic at times.
Any further history on this
subject would be appreciated.

wow, what an excellent question! i can't help, either, but it had to be over 100 years ago...FDR back in the thirties picked his own running mate, i know that, but when it began, maybe someone even older than i can help. Heck, maybe google "running mates", gees, wow, i'm impressed with the intelligence of your question--aren't you impressed with my wishy washy answer? (lol).......good luck. |
