The people should vote for President, America is a Democratic Republic and most likely will be for a very long time. But see my last paragraph for an interesting thought.
On the 35%...I'd say that a majority of non-voters are from that 35% who don't know who wrote the Constitution. So they don't play too important of a role.
But in US History class we had an interesting discussion. If a President loses the election (especially a President as popular with the military as Bush)...who is to make him leave office? He is still the Commander-in-Chief, control of the armed services. If he took control of the troops, who is going to make him leave? It's an interesting thought to just think about in the middle of all this debate.
