less than 50%. 49.8, but still less than 50. more people voted against him than for him.

Well, 49.8% of the Americans asked for it, still a substantial number ...

Still not as substantial as that number makes it sound. It's 49.8% of *voting* Americans - just under half of 156,302,318 people. There are upwards of 340 million people in this country - do the math, and less than 23% of the total population "asked for it".

No, not at all really, and in a true democracy the majority never runs the minority into the ditch anyways...
