Slavery was outlawed in this country quite some time ago. In the absence of a legally binding contract that binds the employee to a specific term of employment, no one can deny anyone's resignation in any form of corporation, and even when there is a contract the employee can resign if he or she is willing to abide by the penalties outlined in the contract.

Hi,
Can any one deny president resignation in C Corporation.
No. If the President wants to walk, he can walk. If there was an employment contract in place committing the company president for a specific period of time, then he can be sued for violating the contract.

Of course, since no state was listed, it's possible OP could be in another country. I still doubt that slavery is legal, but who knows!

Slavery is illegal in the United States. Employment is termed "at will" in most states which means the employer can terminate an employee for any reason that does not violate the law AND employees can end employment freely as well.

Termination for reasons based on protected class is against the law. Those would include race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, gender, family status, disability and in some states, sexual orientation. States do differ. States can add to the protections but cannot offer protections less than those covered by Federal law. None-the-less, slavery IS illegal in the United States and in most countries.

No one, including a President, can be forced to perform any job. The president may have a contractual agreement (written, verbal or implied) to perform the duties of the job but that does not lift any laws against enslavement. Even with a contract, if there are circumstances preventing the President's performance of the contractual duties, those circumstances may be a way out of the consequences of non-performance. It really depends on the specific facts of the case. Who promised what, when, how, to whom and what was the consideration (payment/exchange) for performance and what occurrences have arisen that might reasonably prohibit performance?
