The incumbent emperor chose his successor. However, from the third century onward, emperors were often military commanders who were proclaimed emperors by their troops as the imperial system became less stable and the army acquired great political power.

Ideally, an emperor would pick his own successor. He would designate someone as his heir. Now this method was the ideal method. In reality many times it came down to who was the guy who could pay off the praetorians or who was the guy who had a strong army backing him.
There were ten Roman emperors who persecuted the Christians. You can take your pick of Nero, Domitian, Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus Aureius, Septimus Severus, Maximus the Thracian, Decius, Valerian, and Diocletian.
The new political system created by Augustus made it so emperors could pick their successors. Augustus was Emperor for 41 years.

they can in a way. they get to pick their vice president who would take over the presidency if something were to happen but he has only his citizen's vote for the next prez.

You go to Instant Action and you pick Tatooine and you pick Assault and then you can pick the Dark Side like Darth Maul, Darth Vader, the Emperor or the Good Side like Yoda, Adi Ku Mundi, Han Solo.
false because if the office of the president becomes vacant the vice president becomes president. next in order of succession iis the speaker of the house then president pro tempore of the senate then members of the cabinet starting with the secretary of state. if the president is ill and cannot serve the vice president can become president temporarily.
Why the hell would you pick the light side?!?!? anyways, you go to vaders ship and fight then you off yourself and the emperor

Claudius became emperor after the assassination of his nephew, Caligula. There's a story that the Praetorian guards, while they were rampaging through the palace after the assassination, found Claudius hiding behind a drape and since he was the last of the imperial family, they proclaimed him emperor. There is also another story that the guards were offered a massive bribe to select Claudius. Take your pick. No matter which way Claudius came to power, it was the first time that the Praetorian Guard selected an emperor. This was a significant factor in the selection of future emperors.
Emperor Qin was overall bad but sometimes good... he was a good leader because he built the Great Wall of China he was also the 1st bonafide emperor and he gave china its name' he's overall bad because he killed probably millions while building the Great Wall. ( If a worker died while working emperor qin made other workers pick up the body and put the body in the great wall.) he also destroyed poor Zhao and all the other kingdoms.
W/o a good way of replacing leaders, every change became a power struggle which weakened the empire and hastened its collapse.
