Why won't obama resign due to his low approval ratings like the Prime Minister of Japan did?

The Japanese believe in honor...something Obama does not.

Though I do NOT approve of Obama, it's simply NOT the way things work in the USA.

We do not HAVE a Prime Minister who must form a coalition government and can face a vote of "No Confidence" by the Legislature. It's clear in the Constitution that the President serves a term of 4 years.

I'm no Obama fan. But if presidents were to resign whenever approval rating fell, we'd have a new president every year.

Bush's approval ratings fell to 32% and I don't recall people demanding his resignation. Clinton's were rather low too (under 50%).

That's why Founders came up with elections every 4 years. Soon enough to avoid tyranny, but long enough that a president wasn't booted out every time public opinion changed (which provides political stability).

Probably for the same reason that members of the dominate party in Congress won't resign. Their approval rating is more than twice as bad as the President's - they're at an all-time low of 12%.

And, BTW... Obama is spelled with a capital "O' as with any proper noun.

i think of someone might fee actually adventure with how life became into throughout those Administrations possibly particularly in any different case than historic recaps you cutting-edge. in keeping with life adventure considering that Eisenhower's 2d term, Ike created the Interstate systm, a good situation. Kennedy had innovations and average economic rules, a good situation. Johnson stimulated Civil Rights, a good situation; he additionally greater advantageous a conflict of Ideology, a bad situation (own adventure). Nixon tried nicely-known ability to win the conflict, then pulled the plug, finally, a good situation. Nixon reached out to our adversaries, a good situation. Nixon became right into a scumbag, a bad situation. Ford, stored homestead., Carter, inept and overwhelmed, a bad situation. Reagen, usa felt good approximately each little thing, hoorah. Bush a million, usa went to conflict with a justification, a plan, an Alliance, execution and go out. usa became into proud, a good situation. Bush raised taxes, and the economic equipment sank, a bad situation. Clinton became right into a good economist, stored the Balkens and stopped genocide,a good situation. He neglected opportunities with Terroists by ability of being Politically appropriate, a bad situation. He became right into a good President that dealt with Natonal protection as a regulation enforcement count number, inexperience possibly, no longer a good situation. Bush 2 dealt with 9/11 on behalf of a startled us of a, and via the Afgan militia action, he succeeded, a good situation. He maintained the Iraq UN Resolutions with Britain, a good situation. He went to conflict on a faux impact, a failure of our international Alliance on protection Intelligence, a bad situation. He trusted Rumsfeld's conflict making plans and omitted Collin Powells "overwhelming rigidity doctrine", a bad situation. Bush had an unemployment fee of as low as 4.2% and as extreme as 6.4%, no longer undesirable. He had a Republican Congress, then a Democratic Congress at a time whilst he, his administration and maximum in Congress knew Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been bancrupt alongside with each Insitution that they had dealings with, a entire smash down in Governance, a bad situation.

A president has never resigned because of low approval ratings. You do know that Obama is not the first to have low ratings, right?

If he resigns that means Joe Biden becomes president.

I presume you'd rather see a white man in the oval office?

If he stepped down he would be the first president in history to step down because of low approval ratings. It would just make him look weak.

We live in a constitutional democratic-republic. If we elect officials we expect them to stay there for the term unless they commit a crime.

I'd go along with that. As long as ALL of Congress resigns too, since their approval ratings are less than HALF what his are, and are getting close to single digits.

a typical government employee trying to get over on the MAN, nixon resigned due to watergate, obama and holder should due to the blotched selling of illegal arms to mexico, they got caught, braking the oath of an american politician

Because, unlike Japan, we are not a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary government.

no, it's because we don't have the same kind of government as Japan
