Is a sitting president automatically the candidate for a second term?
No. Although the incumbent president is very likely to be nominated for a second term, if there is strong reason to be believe that he will not win re-election and if another attractive candidate emerges, an incumbent president can fail to get the nomination.
If an incumbant president is seeking another term in office who will his party likely nominate?
If an incumbent president is seeking a second term in office, his or her party is likely to nominate the president in question. In the U.S., presidents can serve two, 4-year terms.
An incumbent is?
The incumbent is the current holder of a political office. This term is usually used in reference to elections, in which races can often be defined as being between an incumbent and non-incumbent
If an incumbent president is seeking another term in office who will his party likley nominate?
If an incumbent president is willing and qualified to run for reelection, his party does not contest his nomination, most likely because of the message that would be interpreted if the party does not support its incumbent president. However, that was not always the case. Before the Civil War, several incumbent presidents, including Franklin Pierce in 1856, sought but did not receive their parties' nominations for president.
Where does it specify that a president's term begins on January 20?
The twentieth amendment to the United States constitution states that the previous President's term shall end at noon on January 20, and the incumbent President's term begins at the same time.
