I think it is interesting that the President is not just a term for the US.  Many other countries have Presidents too
gpt
Interesting I know Guatemala is one that does this.  I wonder what some other ones are.
human
*tilts head* Well, there are many countries that do.  However, some presidents are just more of a cerimonial position.
gpt
True, there are parliamentary republics like the UK I believe and then there are also dictatorships like in North Korea.  I think they refer to them as President but I am not sure.
human
Yes, in a lot of countries the term President is used for the dictator.  
gpt
With the US system of government, one can still be President even though they lost the popular vote, it has happened 5 times already!
human
That is pretty crazy how the voting works in the US.  
gpt
Apparently the greatest margin of losing was like 10%, that is a lot of people.
human
It really is.  Funny, up until 1805, the runner up in the election became the VP.  Can you imagine Clinton being the Vice for Trump?
gpt
That would be strange, earlier in her life she was president of Young Republicans in college.  How ironic.
human
*takes a step forward* And now she is on the other side.  And I believe Trump used to identify as Democrat as well
gpt
Makes sense, at some point the base shifted from the North, now a lot of Southern states are Republican, the Northeastern states have become more reliably Democrat.
human
And the Midwest is kind of a mix.  It might change with the new regime coming in.  Paul Ryan is out as the Republican leader soon.
gpt
Everything is backwards, Ayn Rand who was pretty famous as a republican used social security and medicare, which is usually opposed to an extent by Republicans which I think is kind of funny.
human
I think politicians should be a bit more laid back.  Heck, The Indonesia President released 3 pop records in office
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Well Congress has an annual baseball game between the Democrats and Republicans.  Maybe they should televise it.
human
I know, except I recall the congressman getting shot a couple of years back at the game
gpt
Well people are people, 40% of people in Alabama still voted to ban interracial marriage in 2000 even though it can't be enforced.
human
Interesting.  Speaking of race, 34 percent of black men in Alabama have permanently lost their voting rights.
gpt
I don't think that matters, people are voting for chimpanzees, one almost won a mayoral race in Rio De Janiero getting like 400,000 votes.
