In the very first line, where you wrote “Adolph,” I almost quit reading, pizza man. But when you said that fellow was interred and survived, you lost me.
Too bad, because you may have had an interesting point to make.
Yes, I am a grammar nazi, with the spelling squadron.
You already know the answer to this question... we're not built like that. It's probably the reason some of us keep trying to reach across the aisle (to our own detriment).
But 22 does NOT make anyone “ineligible to the office”.
It makes them ineligible to be ELECTED.
“Running for President” does not exist in the Constitution.
She’s said she was going to spend $2.5 billion. The regular consultants are hoping to get their cut.
Hmm ...that sound very probable.
Everyime she goes out with a task she comes back looking like she’s been through a wood chipper. People automatically realize she’s going to have to retreat and scrape her face off the flloor and spend months at the plastic surgeon to bring her back to an acceptable state.
This has happened several times now.
Can we as a nation allow her to rejuvenate periodically?
Right now she has a smile, credible or not ... but i’ll bet it fades pretty seriously just as the election season winds down.
Not true. Consider the last line of the 12th Amendment. "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
This means more than just ineligible to be elected VP. It means that B-J Clinton, GW Bush, and BH 0bama may not SERVE as VP even if they could be elected to it. Interestingly GHW Bush WOULD be eligible to be VP.
Consider also Henry Kissinger. When he was Secretary of State he was not a part of the line of succession because he was ineligible to hold the office of President. He would also have been ineligible to replace Spiro Agnew.

The 22nd Amendment does not create constitutional ineligibility to the office of President. If it did, instead of saying "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once", it would say, "No person shall hold the office of the President for more than eight years, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall hold the office of the President for more than four years."
Or, stated even more simply, "Any person elected to the office of the President twice, or any person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President who is subsequently elected once, shall after the completion of his service be ineligible to serve as President in the future".
But it doesn't say that now, does it?
Amendment XII governs the regulations of the election of President and Vice President. If the the electors could not vote for him for President, they cannot vote for him for Vice President, either. Your hair splitting does not change the clear intention of Amendment XII.
Hillary has a vagina.
No President ever had one before.
That's why.
Answering this question is way above my pay grade.
