Looking through our constitution, I found a slight problem. There is no way to elect a new president should the office of presidency be vacant. The constitution only has a remedy if there is nobody elected, not if the president resigns or is removed during the term. To remedy this, I suggest we amend the constitution as follow:

Section I.1 Gubernatorial Election of a President
The Governors are responsible for choosing a citizen to serve as President if an election cycle completes with no citizen elected to the office of President. A Governor will create a thread for interested citizens to post in, and be questioned by the Governors. 3 days after the creation of this thread, the Legislature will vote amongst all interested Candidates via Private Poll. The citizen receiving the most votes is elected President. If more than one citizen ties, a run-off election will be held between only those citizens.
