I just listed all the major / well known candidates, but there are a bunch of others.
That party would win.I think that they would have to find someone else
Barack Obama is president, because he received more votes than any one else running for presidency in the election.
He is the only president who was unopposed.
aks somebody else
Yes- a candidate for vice-president must meet all the requirements for president or else he could not take over for the president.
Washington did not have any competition for President in 1788. Each elector cast two votes in those days and John Adams finished second which made him vice-president.
Buchanan had been a candidate for the Democratic nomination a couple of times before he was finally nominated in 1856. His opponents in that year were John Fremont of the new Republican Party (which had been formed in 1854) and former President Millard Fillmore, who was the candidate of the American (Know Nothing) Party and also of the rump Whig organization which remained after the party broke up following the 1852 election. Because of the breakup of the Whigs (primarily over slavery), the Republicans were already the #2 party even though they were only 2 years old. The situation made Buchanan's election pretty easy, though.
He was added to the ticket as vice-president because he was governor of Massachusetts and had worked had for the party. I do not think he had any great desire to be President, although, of course, by accepting the nomination of vice-president, he knew the possibility existed. After he became President, he was the logical choice of his party to run in 1924 and he agreed to do so, probably because he was confident that he could do as well as any one else as President and was more likely than other Republican to be elected.
The vice president
A Democrat could run for the Democratic nomination against an incumbent Democratic President. This happened in 1980 , for example, when Ted Kennedy ran against President Carter. A democrat would not run on the same party lines as another Democrat since the Democratic party can only nominate one candidate themselves. So a third party could nominate a Democrat to run for president if that Democrat lost the Democratic nomination to someone else.
Why must she represent something else than a girl with a pearl earring?
Running a country like the United States takes the actions of more then one person. The President is assisted by his cabinet members, the joint chiefs of staff, his personal aids, and others like his press secretary in guiding the country.
