Looking at France panicking because 2 weeks after snap election there isn’t a clear majority, nor a coalition ready to propose a prime-minister to the president. What would be the standard time to do these negotiations in a functional democracy where doing coalition is common but doesn’t take years (so US and Belgium do not coun :) )

    The American system is different because of how the executive branch is run, not the quality of elections.

    Technically, the Electrical College could not elect a candidate, which would lead to multiple ballots within Congress until a decision is made. However, that only happened once and the Constitution was amended to reduce the odds this would happen.

    1-2 months, by law after 1 month there has to be parliament meeting that gives majority support to government, if it don’t give support then another party gets to make government, after that another election.

    It depends on the situation, usually the coalition potential is known in advance so it is usually quick.

    Greetings from somewhere in East Africa;

    Off-books? Zero days, mate. The president has it all laid out by “deep state” and/or sponsors. The president will (almost) have no say on that. Risking his/her influence on the administration is no Bueno

    Officially? A month max.

    And yes, “deep state” was are “the ones who shall not be named” who were are present on (almost) every country until Trump screamed them out.

        i’m guessing that whole paragraph is meant to be antisemitic dogwhistles. if by “deep state”, he doesn’t mean jewish people, he’d do well to speak more plainly.
