Why was koran used in presidential inauguration?
Given that President Obama is a Christian, it is extremely unlikely that a Koran was used at his inauguration.
Will John McCain be President?
Unlikely. Republican candidate John McCain lost the 2008 Presidential election to Democrat Barack Obama, and hasn't expressed an interest in running in 2012. Practically speaking, he would be considered too old to nominate (76 years in 2012).
Why was James K. Polk called the dark horse?
He seemed an unlikely candidate for nomination to become President. Van Buren seemed to have the Democratic nomination locked up tight and would surely choose Polk as his running mate. The Whig candidate was bound to be the powerful Henry Clay. Polk had served as the Governor of Tennessee but had failed twoce to obtain re-election to that office. He was considered to be far too weak to win.
Will the Vice-Presidency ever remain permanently vacant for an entire Presidential term?
While there have been several times when there was no vice president, the situations did not last long. It is unlikely that a president will allow there to be no vice president for an entire term.
Can a president and vice president on the same ticket receive a tie vote in the electoral college?
The 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution requires that electors clearly list the people receiving votes for president, with the number of votes for each, and separately, clearly list the people receiving votes for vice president, with the number of votes for each. In the election of 1988, one of the electors voted for the vice presidential candidate for president and voted for the presidential candidate for vice president. However, it's highly unlikely that half of the electors in one election will all make that mistake. But even if they do, if one candidate gets half of the votes for president, his running mate gets the other half of the votes for president, and nobody else gets any votes for president, then nobody has the required absolute majority of votes, and the House of Representatives has to elect the president from between those two. In 1800, Thomas Jefferson and his running mate, Aaron Burr, ended up tied for first in the presidential election, and both had enough electoral votes. The 12th Amendment, which took effect before the next election, made sure that that could never happen again.

Can a democratic presidential candidate pick a republican as a running mate?
I have been denied what I think is my right to vote for which democratic candidate would best fill the role as President, should either of them be elected. I consider this denial a blockade or "funneling" of the popular vote in order to cut corners in the election process. This seems to be against the grain of democracy, especially for those of us who'd like to vote for the issues and not go by straight-party means.

What happens when Obama leaves office in 2017 and Donald Trump is impeached who runs the country?
First Trump would have to commit an impeachable offense (which he hasn't yet), then be impeached by the House (unlikely since it is controlled by the party that nominated him as their candidate), then convicted on articles of impeachment by the Senate (also unlikely for the same reason). If Trump were no longer president then the Vice President (who will be Mike Pence) would assume the office of President of the United States.
How many voters voted for a third party candidate in the 2016 US presidential election?
A little over 6 million (out of a total of around 126 million votes cast). The final number could change slightly as absentee, provisional, and mail in ballots are counted, but it's unlikely that the percentage (around 6%) will change substantially.Around half of those votes were for the Libertarian Party candidate, and about a fifth were for the Green Party candidate.
How many times was Mubarak reelected?
5 times. The Egyptian semi-presidential system (A president is in power along side a prime minister who is head of the parliament) states that once elected, a president will serve for 6 years. Mubarak first became president in 1981 when he served as vice-president and the current president was assassinated. It seems very unlikely that he will be elected again however.
Why is a candidate for presidency most unlikely to be apolitical?
Reasons would include:It requires enormous resources to run for President - consequently candidates usually have to attach themselves to a political party in order to have enough resources to runThe position of President is responsible for setting and enforcing policies - which are inherently political issues
