Thank you. We need it. You might have a huge influx of immigrants in Canada soon. I'm kidding of course. We've had lying womanizers in office before and we've survived. Besides, it's not that easy to move to Canada. I've checked.

Loved the story!!!!!!!!!!! and the puzzle!!!!!!!!!!! I am speechless.

I've been told on the news that we will start getting exit results after the polls close on the east coast at 7:00 pm. That's 1:00 pm Hawai`i time. I'll start watching for awhile then. I have a feeling it may be days before we know for sure. Whoever wins will be the most disliked president we've ever had. How sad for us. But, as I've said, Americans, on the whole, are good people. We will weather the storm--Storm Hillary or Storm Donald, we'll get through it.

fun solve, fun story! :)

hilarious and good solve also

Thx gang. I was hoping you would find this funny. I was in my thinkers pose while on my throne. It was during one of those death grip on the porcelain moments when suddenly the thought of who would become President came to mind. I thought I would share it with my friends. Glad you guys and gals enjoyed it. :)

What a nightmare! Very creative, Aldege. Thanks for the good luck wishes.
Belita, previous lying womanizers were intelligent, well informed, ran on a good platform and got some good things done like civil rights laws, Medicare, improved economy.
Jennifer, looking at the Electoral College, I think we'll know the results by midnight of the 8th. Watch the swing states of the East. A repeat of 2000 would tear us apart more than the campaign has done. Let's pray that doesn't happen.

May G-d have mercy on us!

Thanks Al for making this difficult moment funny for a while!

Thanks for the chuckle, Aldege. I hope everyone keeps a level head on the 9th and thereafter. Whatever the outcome, I know I'll be craving the company of friends. In other words, I'll be here on webpbn.

Thx Susan,Jota and Kathy. I'm glad I could provide some comic relief for a short period anyway. We'll all be here for each other Kathy. :)

Too funny! For what it's worth, if this sort of situation *were* to happen, the House of Representatives gets to select the new President, and not necessarily one of those two. :)

Thx Kristen. I'm not that knowledgable about U.S. politics or the administration and chain of command. For some reason I thought you had a Senate Committee that made these decisions and also had to approve bills and laws that the President wants to introduce. BTW it's worth a lot to me Kristen because I love learning instead of looking like a fool. Please don't worry about setting me straight cause I consider it you doing me a favour. So who actually sits on the House of Representatives and do they have the power to veto so that the President can't totally f*^& things up? :)

P.S.- I know you yanks are resilient and the greatest nation on earth and you will get thru this,but you might want to consider moving to New Brunswick to find out what God's Country is really like. I'll sponser the whole gang of you. Heck we can have a great B.B.Q. and drink some Molson's EX. :)

Kristen: I believe that the house must choose between the two who had tied in the election.

In the case of an Electoral College deadlock or if no candidate receives the majority of votes, a “contingent election” is held. The election of the President goes to the House of Representatives. Each state delegation casts one vote for one of the top THREE contenders to determine a winner. [emphasis mine]

I vote for a BBQ in New Brunswick.

I think you Americans have a President: Barack Obama. Why do you need another one?

Yes, I wish we could keep Obama around another 8 years. Too bad we can't.

He rescued our desperate economic situation: Now we have had 73 months of consecutive job growth. Unemployment is the lowest it's been in 8 years. He improved health and safety for us peons, he addressed the environment and, veterans, and so much more. Here's a list of 400 Obama accomplishments (with citations):

Thomas, because the President has a term limit of 2 terms (8 years). :)

We're trying to push for a term limit for Congress, too, but they can vote for their own pay raises, so it's hard to convince them to limit their time at such a cushy job.

Wow, how times have not changed!

Well, we managed to survive (somehow) his first time around, although I fear this one will be much, much darker.

I, for one, am going to keep my head down and just protect my family and community as best I can.

A criminal in charge of the justice system? A person who doesn't believe in medical science in charge of health? What could go wrong?
