New Election.

[Karin Rengu]

I need to start posting here!!

[Athos]

Yes you should

[divinephoenix]

Yes, you should.

New Election.

So it will take a long time before someone would be made president since there will be campaigning and stuff. So until that5 time, no one will lead the country?

[Athos]

It would be an emergency election, so it wouldn't take that long.

[Karin Rengu]

In what country?

[Athos]

U.S. For the most part, things here are related to US Politics. But politics in general is fun enough

[divinephoenix]

It would be an emergency election, so it wouldn't take that long.

How long does is usually take?

[Athos]

I would imagine a few months. Given the circumstance, it might just go to the house of Representatives to decide who should be president while an election is put together. FTR: it's never happened in US History.

[divinephoenix]

It's hard to imagine hearing on the news that all political leaders were killed in one explosion. But we wouldn't know exactly what would happen right?

[Athos]

That's correct. It would be hard to kill all those people.

[divinephoenix]

Unless there will come a very clever terrorist.

[Athos]

That's about 20 people you'd have to kill. With their own agendas (and probably) high security, it'd be hard to pull of. And if one cabinet member goes down, I'm sure the rest would be put on high alert.

[divinephoenix]

Most probably.

[Athos]

Hey did you see this month's issue of "The Nation?"

[divinephoenix]

No. I don't think we have that.
