From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. 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. From Wikipedia under the

Q. 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.

Answered by good guy - Thu Jun 19 17:55:30 2008 If a President is found to be ineligible after taking office, can he be removed? Q. And if so, which court would have jurisdiction to do so? Would it be the House and/or Senate? There's no provision for the President to be removed other than high crimes and misdemeanors. What would happen? I'm asking because the only reasons I see listed in the Constitution is 'high crimes and misdemeanors' and being discovered to be ineligible (with no criminal act) doesn't seem to be covered. And no it's not certain that it would be discovered in advance. For example, the issue regarding McCain's eligibility hasn't been settled yet. Asked by presidentrichardnixon - Thu Oct 2 14:32:31 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Not sure what would make someone "ineligible" to be President. I would imagine that if there were such a fact, it would have been discovered well before the person got into that office. But if you're talking about him bing born in the Canal Zone, it's a non-issue. Someone would have to successfully convince the Supreme Court to evaluate a pre-1900 law making the Zone, virtually, a part of the United States. And that has virtually a 0% chance of ever happening. That line of reasoning would hinder good people from ever serving the Country in foreign lands, on the off-hand chance that a child could be born to them while stationed there. Just like foreign embassies are considered a part of the foreign country, U.S. military installations… [cont.] Answered by wilderwriter - Thu Oct 2 14:45:06 2008 Who was the first president not to wear a hat?
Q. I know all men wore hats everywhere until a president was elected who did not, but I forget which president it was. My instinct is Kennedy but that sounds too late. Asked by Who C - Tue Jul 14 01:28:29 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Up until the late 1940's and early 1950's, hats were worn by gentlemen, particularly outdoors. It was considered "bad manners" for a gentleman or a lady to be seen outdoors without proper headgear. Pompadour hair styles and popular icon of the time, such as Tony Curtis and Elvis Presley had a significant impact on the decline of hat wearing in the US. President Kennedy was the first U.S. President to be seen outdoors without a hat and from the 1960's on, the use of hats declined considerably.
