I don't have the 1830 rules in front of me, but at least some other 18xx 
games specifically say this is acceptable -- the president is allowed to 
sell one share, trading with the one who will receive the president's 
certificate in order to put one in the pool.  As far as who gets the 
presidency, all games I know of say the next eligible player among those 
tied clockwise from the current president (or in share-round order if it 
allows variable order).
