Clinton lied about the details of his personal life, and got impeached.
Bush lied about the necessity of going to war, and...?

... he will not be re-elected. Now it turns out that I don't think much of his opponent either, but perhaps getting this clown out of office will give clowns in the immediate future pause.

How certain are you that not re-electing him will get him out of office? I don't know about you, but a sentence that combines the words "delay", "election", and "terrorism" sends shivers down my back.

Fairly. I suspect that if they try delaying the election, someone will decide to shoot him.

What would shooting him accomplish?

Ah, I wasn't being clear. I don't think it would accomplish anything good - I just think that is what would happen in the situation. In fact, it is easy to see how it could cause harm - murdering Julius Caesar didn't lead to the continued existence of the Republic, after all.

Next question is whether he is at all likely to be personally involved in the decision as to whether to delay the election, since he is the only one in the administration who would be likely to lose much by him being shot...

Just seems like there are two or three incidents a week these days that contribute to my feeling Really Nervous. I've railed against the US government in the past, but really, it's a pretty decent system. I don't want it to go away. :\
