NO! I'm having too much fun!
Correct, under Article 2 he’s not eligible, but that didn’t stop him the last two times.
However, under the 22nd amendment, he could serve a third term (so long as he wasn’t “elected” to it).
I think it needs more cowbell.
form of torment.
A VEEP must be able to become president should anything happen to the sitting president!
You must be THE biggest masochist to have ever lived; because you appear to love being told how wrong you are by so many people.
Thanks Lazzy:-)
And MODS don't seem to be here anymore.
DON'T YOU INSULT MY FUTURE WIFE!
Jim Robinson needs to make me a Moderator!
I’ve been here 10+ years longer than you, so my “old times” and your “old times” are different. :-)
Thank you for the post! I hadn’t thought about the 12A. But there it is, and it talks about eligibility. The 12A is so clear that I think it would close the loophole in the 22A.
Yet I wonder why the writers of the 22A couldn’t have been more precise. Maybe they thought the 12A covered all that.
Anyway, I’ll still give the original poster a pass. She made a fair argument based on the 22A, forgetting about the 12A. It was worth a discussion, and certainly worth pointing out that the 12A settled the issue.
:-)
I know you are, but surely ( DON’T CALL ME SHIRLEY! ), you could “have fun” on a GOOD/FUNNY thread, instead of one posted by an imbecile. You’re too clever for this drivel!
I think we’re already in BO’s third term.
Go back to school; you never got educated the first time around!
Oh oh...what is your for REAL beloved going to say about that, dear? hehehehehehe
We need MODS and bring back the power of the VIKING KITTIES!
Thanks PolishPrince yes I forgot about the half-term thing:
From wiki:
“The amendment prohibits anyone who has been elected president twice from being elected again. Under the amendment, someone who fills an unexpired presidential term lasting more than two years is also prohibited from being elected president more than once. Scholars debate whether the amendment prohibits affected individuals from succeeding to the presidency under any circumstances or whether it applies only to presidential election.”
But as you can see, this does not preclude Barry from becoming President in my hypothetical.
She's down with it. "The more the merrier!"
