There is a point of contention regarding the interpretation of the Twelfth Amendment as it relates to the Twenty-second Amendment, ratified in 1951, which prohibits a person from being “elected” President more than twice.
While it is clear that under the Twelfth Amendment the original constitutional qualifications of age, citizenship, and residency apply to both the President and Vice President, it is unclear whether a two-term president could later serve as Vice President. Some argue that the Twenty-second Amendment and Twelfth Amendment both bar any two-term president from later serving as Vice President as well as from succeeding to the presidency from any point in the United States presidential line of succession.[8] Others contend that the Twelfth Amendment concerns qualification for service, while the Twenty-second Amendment concerns qualifications for election, and thus a former two-term president is still eligible to serve as vice president.[9] The practical applicability of this distinction has not been tested, as no former president has ever sought the vice presidency, and thus the courts have never been required to make a judgment regarding the matter.

Allow me to be brief. F*** you.
The GOP has used this tired line in the last 6 elections, and EVERY time they are given majorities, they do nothing with it, other than cede power to the Left. The GOP can go to Hell. I'll vote ONLY for a candidate that talks the talk and HAS WALKED THE WALK. Walker is gone. That leaves Cruz.
(Trump is a wildcard, but one that I MIGHT vote for, if only because he is likely to rip the GOP leadership to shreds and possibly form a new party after tiring of their stupidities.)
Im my heart, the GOP gets the same treatment as unions. Anything that tears down their power and leadership is a good thing. No money for them, but plenty of time and money and effort to those who hate them as much as I do.
If Schoen or especially Pat Caddell had said this, maybe I’d really believe it. Trippi - I think there’s a lot of wiggle room in his pronouncements. He’s not impressed me so much lately.
Circle ye wagons, oh Communists.
As has been said before, "In a Democracy, a people get the government they deserve," and you, Sir, deserve exactly what you're going to get: Hillary.
The use of the term “Herself” is very definitely an Irishism.
My paternal grandmother bore the surname “Sweeney”, and the other bore the surname “Kelly”. While I never had a conversation with either one, the hand that rocked the cradle surely formed the strong early impressions of both my parents, and that was part of my inheritance.
Watch joe trippi moaning, while being bent over the airplane seat, taking one for the gripper, also watching howie dean perform a deviant self indulgent act.
No! she’s not!
She’s just so awesome, you democrats would really win big if you ran her against us!
We’ sure would hate that.
You can do ANYTHING just don’ run HilLIARy against us
Amen.
We break the power of the GOPe now, or the last *faint* hope for this country is gone.
Hillary could eat a kitten on live TV and it wouldn’t register with her goon supporters.
