what a plan.....they could use BOTH racism and SEXISM..as the conversation ending hyperbole....for at least a year or two....
No.....If the VP is not eligible for present, he is not eligible for VP.
OMG, they noticed Hillary isn’t black!
Mark Levin shot down this Swiftian proposal today on Constitutional grounds like a skilled skeet shooter tossed an easy clay pigeon.
Considering they hate each other, probably a non-starter.
They are starting to figure out that the broad Hillary has little chance of making it to the general election, much less winning it!
They are looking reality in the face. A Ted Cruz presidency with a super majority in the House and Senate.
Almost a foregone conclusion when you look at the several senators in the Democrat Caucus who are NOT seeking re election this cycle.
Cory Booker will be the Dems’ Veep pick to turn out the black vote again.
“If the VP is not eligible for President, he is not eligible for VP.”
There is no Constitutional prohibition for a two term president from being Vice He could be President once more in the event of the death of the sitting President. The prohibition is against being ELECTED to a third term as President. In the event of his Presidents death, he would not be elected to the Presidency. He would assume office by Constitutional Succession. His election was to the vice Presidency. No Constitutional prohibition against his being elected VP.
It’s a stupid, unconstitutional idea.
Why do these guys think they can just change the rules whenever they feel like it.
Both the 12th and 22nd amendment are in force.
From the 12th: But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
She is going to have a hard time not going against some of his policies.
She will have to pretty much adopt so much of his agenda. She doesn’t want to go against him and the republican candidate.
Hopefully, a good republican candidate can tie her to him.
That would leave Boehner as prezzy if Hill strokes out again.
Because they can. Who is going to stop them? Not Boehner and Co.
How can some people be so stupid? Like Obama would play second fiddle to Shrillary? Like Moochelle would let him? They’re buying a compound in HI and will be poised to rake in millions upon millions. Stupid desperate liberal people - buy a clue.
The question of whether or not a two term President may serve as Vice President has not been tested in Court. It is argued even to this day both ways since the 12th was ratified 1804 .
And, no one will know for sure until the subject is heard in a lawsuit when and if the subject actually arises.
Example: It took nearly 200 years for a Supreme Court to apply the Second Amendment to state and City governments and not just the Feds. One would have thought the plain words of the Second Amendment would have settled that hundreds of years ago. (See the Heller and Mcdonald cases)
Thats what they make lawyers for. Unfortunately, nothing in the Constitution is a.slam.dunk when Courts get hold of it.
He can’t. If you’re not eligible to be President, you’re not eligible to be Vice President. (That’s in the Constitution.) The reason is that the VP might have to succeed to the presidency.
Actually the better idea is let Hillary run...get beaten by any Republican candidate, and then let Obama come back in 2020 to run against that Republican (it’d be legal then). He might win and then run again in 2024.
