Since I do not hold a high office or position it would be difficult to abdicate. Resign doesn't really work either. Leave the country and renounce my citizenship? Never. I would wonder about the mental health of my fellow Americans, but leaving would simply be letting "W" win. I would stay and try to make the best of it because I feel that is my duty as an American. I wouldn't like it, and I would try to oust him, but I wouldn't leave. I would be alarmed if any U.S. President decided to overstay their welcome. I can see much better reasons for leaving a country than George. At least we have the option to leave. I know a guy who has spent the last 20 years buying (literally) his family out of his country one by one due to the corruption--Dubya isn't the greatest, but it would take a lot more for me to renounce citizenship.

No. First of all, to abdicate ususally means a person gives up a position of authority or power (People renounce citizenship). Secondy, nothing so temporary could make me leave this country. I do not agree with everything our government does, but I am an American and I do not take that lightly. It would be a shame for people to confuse our government for all that is our country.

No.

I would abdicate, run away, resign, retire, leg it to the border with all due haste, anything I could think of to be somewhere other than a totalitarioan police state where habeus corpus has been suspended. Actually, I have already looked at some out-of-America properties.
-
No, I actually wouldn't. I dont agree with everything that he has done, but I definitely think he has done better than some other of his opponents would have.

nope, Id pop open a fine bottle of cognac, light up a fine Zino cigar, and watch the riots against the Whitehouse
-
I wouldn't leave. I'd camp out in front of the White House for as long as it took, waiting for him to show his face to the angry masses. I actually kind of wish he would. It would be the final straw this country needs to get it's act together.
-
I think that'd be cool. Oh, the chaos that would cause! It would be beautiful!
-
oh no not again...I would leave the country...anybody help to pay my ticket?
-
Abdicate is not really the correct question. Abdicate means to resign from formal office - usually a queen or such like. If you mean flee the country, object or just curl up and die, I suspect I would not be lonely saying yes.
-
abdicate? yes i would give up my throne. the seat is broken anyway!
-
Huh, is that a M-40 rifle I just shelled out $700 for? How much will it take to bribe guards now?
-
Abdicate means discard or give up. I guess I would give up. LOL!
