Obama Wants A Third Term And This Is How He Could Make It Happen (Tyranny)
SHTF Plan ^ | August 15, 2016 | Jeremiah Johnson

Posted on 08/16/2016 9:32:52 PM PDT by Perseverando

Yes, we are all well aware the Constitution limits the Presidency to two consecutive four-year terms of office. Then again, if you weigh the track record of the Obama administration, the Constitution is nothing more than a challenge that he bypasses and circumvents with every given opportunity. Small wonder that he may very well do the same thing with the upcoming presidential elections. Already a sham, the presidential elections are actually a vehicle he can use to grab that “Third Term” for himself.

First we’re going to quote straight out of the Huffington Post, an article from August 9, 2016, entitled “Does He Deserve a Third Term? Obama is S.T.U.P.I.D!” The acronym “STUPID” is supposed to stand for Super Human, Tough, Unequalled, Proactive, Ingenious, and Demi-god.

No, your eyes did not deceive you: that last was “Demi-god,” this article from a “Contributor” to the Huffington Post. The last paragraph is very alarming, and here it is:

“D – Demi-god

What more can qualify a man as god? A loving father to his children, best friend to his wife, a friend to his subordinates, a mentor to growing young men, hope to the hopeless, a victor in his challenges, the most powerful man on earth, yet a simple man in all his ways. You will forever live in hearts of all as a god among men.”

A “god” among men, eh?

Honestly, if he did. I really don’t think the public would rise up and stop him. The people that would have to go to work, take care of their kids, and be upstanding citizens. It wouldn’t be worth it to enough people to get out in the streets. A state or two might secede, but that’s probably it.

You're really big on this passive despair thing. I'm getting tired of it. Most conservatives do, in fact, care about important things like the law. If you don't like it here, find somewhere that fits your enjoyment of slack navel gazing hopelessness. Take your despondency and disbelief in the human spirit elsewhere. This isn't the website for you.

Only way I could ever see it happening is if Obama was on vacation in Hawaii and someone nuked DC....

And that would only buy him an extra year at most, as the states would replace all their senators and the house could pick a new president...

[ Maybe?

It sure looks seems to me that his heroes are totalitarian dictators, both communist and muslim. ]

Any scenario that would allow it to happen and most of the populace would be too worried about their own individual survival more so than what a man in DC would be doing declaring himself president for a few more terms...

We might start being affected by his 4th or 5th term...

Stay on topic, your post has absolutely nothing to do with the topic and all to do with your disagreeing with me.

My topic is you being a despair troll. Knock it off.

It won’t happen because Obama is 1. Greedy and 2. Lazy. The only person that would want this is Jarrett.

(Scoff) Bill Clinton has other plans....for sure he’ll kibosh Obama’s plans.

Billybooboo is pushing feeble Hillary into campaigning for office knowing she can’t actually govern.

So IF she gets in, Bill announces she’s too ill, locks her in the basement, does a Mrs Woodrow wilson...and takes over.

In Billy’s mind, he’s the most beloved living president and people are clamoring for him to be back in the Oval Office.

The election in 1864 makes this all a moot point along with the 22nd amendment ratified 80 plus years later.

Doubtful. There are elements not loyal to him that would have him disposed of.

What blasphemous bilge, to call this fraud-in-office a ‘demigod’.

The scenario states that large scale insurrection happens first, allowing Obama to declare martial law. It certainly makes you wonder what else Black Lives Matters would do with the $133 million it’s getting (shown here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3460211/posts )

Since this is someone’s THEORY, there is no need to vet it. Very interesting!

Here’s a very scary thought (from a friend):

I had to take my vehicle to the mechanic the other day for service. The Service Manager, Pete, gave me a ride home and on the way he told me his theory about the upcoming election and the next four years of U.S. government. At first I thought it a bit far fetched. But as I listened to him it began to make sense, scary sense...

“I believe that Hillary Clinton will win the election in November,” Pete began. “Then, sometime between November and January, Hillary will be indicted. The IRS is now investigating the Clinton Foundation and the whole e-mail thing isn’t over yet. Once under indictment she won’t be able to assume the Office of the President in January. Tim Kaine, who will not actually be the Vice President because neither he nor Hillary have been inaugurated, cannot assume the Presidency. The Speaker of the House can’t move up to it because there is already a sitting President and Vice President. So President Obama, in an Executive Order citing ‘emergency situation,’ gives himself another four years in office is the only way possible.”

Pete believes Obama has been planning this for a while now, knowing he has enough on Hillary to indict her. Had the Attorney General indicted her based on evidence from the FBI, the plan wouldn’t have worked because the DNC would have quickly come up with another candidate.

If you think about it, it’s not that outrageous. Many people on the left, including the President, want Obama to stay another four years. The law prohibits him from being re-elected so the only 2 ways he can do it is either by declaring martial law and suspending the election (which would be a very negative thing for the country) or to declare himself still President because the elected candidate cannot assume her duties.

The latter makes more sense and is actually more feasible. And since it’s never been done before, it would set a precedent that would be difficult to challenge.

Of course, if Trump wins the election none of this is going to happen. But what if Pete is correct? Four more years of Obama and a mostly useless Republican House and Senate would give Obama the time he needs to continue destroying the country to fit his stated goals.

I thanked Pete for the ride home – and for messing up my day. Now I’ve got more things to worry about.

No, it doesn't.

First of all, terms do not need to be consecutive. That appears nowhere in the Constitution, and Amendment XXII doesn't change that.

Second of all, READ Amendment XXII and tell me what it prohibits, then tell me on whom it acts.

It says no person MAY BE ELECTED to the office more than twice, and then goes on to fit the particular circumstances of Harry S Truman while exempting him specifically, so that a VP (or other successor) who has served more than two years and one day of someone else's elected term MAY BE ELECTED only once.

Now, this does not affect "running for President", "being nominated", "being on the ballot", and it CERTAINLY does not make a twice-elected President "ineligible to the office".

How simple would it have been to amend Article II to read, "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States, and no person twice elected to the office shall be eligible thereafter".

But that's not what the drafters of XXII did. They presumed the existence of Presidential elections, which do not appear in the Constitution (except with regard to the Electoral College and the House of Representatives), and they ignored the other ways a person can become President, especially by ascending from the Vice Presidency, Speakership of the House, or otherwise.

My only concern is that Donald Trump starts citing this article as credible. What a load of tripe!

"No, càn’t happen."

Right. Our House of (mis)Representatives would never allow that.

Except that the President is not elected in November.

The President is elected when the President of the Senate opens the electoral votes and counts them in the presence of the full (new) House and Senate, sitting in special Joint Session which will happen on January 3, 2017.

If, God forbid, more than 270 Electors for President are Democrats, then they can choose whoever they want, except (arguably) Barack Obama.

However, I am certain that 270 Electors for Vice President could elect Obama to that office, and if there is a plan, I presume that's what it is.

Some spooky sh!t went on when the fight against Communism was its height and we still haven’t learned all of it.
