The U.S. could lose its status as the world’s biggest economic power within five years.
The International Monetary Fund predicts China will overtake the U.S. in 2016, which will effectively end the 'Age of America' a decade before most analysts had expected.
It means that whoever wins the 2012 presidential election will have the dubious honour of presiding over the fall of the United States.

I would wager that rather then allowing for the things mentioned in the OP to occur, the USA would rather trigger WW3 and let the best military emerge from the ashes allowing for the victor to re-write the historical account of the events which led to it.

If you look at the graph you can clearly see that China will overtake the US as the worlds largest economy by 2016. It will be less than four years. Romney or Obama could go down in history as the last president of the republic. China already is the largest economy when you consider the fact that the USD has more value due to it being the reserve currency.
I think the republic of the united states will crumble. It will be similar to what happened to the USSR but in reverse. Once the US loses the claim to largest economy they will also lose the Reserve Status. This will shrink their economy and cause inflation.
Even if the US remains intact and continues to live under their constitution they will lose the title of superpower. Less than four years until America is unseated. Romney or Obama will be the last american president to be the 'leader of the free world.'
