Why Do Presidents Terms end on Even Year?
Question: If George Washington became president in 1789-1797, how come we vote presidents in office on even years. If a president dies during a term the vice president takes over for the remainder of the years, so how come elections are now on even years instead of odd years
Answers: presidents are elected in november of an even year, but they don't take office until january of the next year, which would be odd
Presidents are elected in even years but they don't take office until after the new year, in an odd year.
Conspiracy!!!!!! What if George planned 9/11 and used his altering of dates to get AWAY WITH IT!!!!
If it wasn't for those rotten kids, I would've gotten away with it!!!
Actually they end in odd years. Bush's term is over on January 20, 2009, not 2008. Clinton's term ended on January 20, 2001. It is established in the Constitution.
We vote the year before to give the sitting president time to wrap things up and the new guy time to select his cabinet and establish policy.

AMEN! Ron Paul 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think we need to ban them, only to ensure that they are safe, leave a paper trail, don't leave 'back doors', etc. We do this by having an independent state commission examine the source code.
Why don't they vote? There isn't a single candidate that isn't on the take from some special interest group. There isn't a candidate of the people, they are career politicians. There isn't a candidate
Maybe. Maybe your one, maybe I'm one.
No but I don't think they really care, at least no one but Ron Paul.

I don't like Rudd, but i guess it's because he has more integrity, and that people get sick of dishonest smear tactics. lets be honest, the liberal governments scare campaigns about 'trade unionists'
Yes he is, and he's a straight shooter! It would be good to see him get a hugh 'bump'...............
I wouldn't vote for him no matter what he saw. The fact that he saw this UFO while on the property of Shirley McClain (his childs God-mother) bothers me alot. She is really kooky.
I'm sure Hill will have someone killed over this. It is the Clinton way.
I have been wondering why on earth they started campaigning so early. The issues could be all different by the time of the elections. Or is our government holding off on things because of the upcoming
