And neither is Hildebeast. wink! wink!
Alright. Listen. The Bush/Clinton pact goes like this- G.H.W. gets one term- face prosecution or give it up to Clinton for two terms, the boy gets two, Hillary gets one, and then Jeb for two.
Three decades of Bush/Clinton.
Don't ask me how I know.
No argument here, my FRiend...time fer US to lead America to a brighter future...and that brighter future implies a less-Omnipotent Federal Leviathan!!
"NOW....at the risk of sounding impatient; we have a Republican controlled Senate, Congress, AND the White House. If these guys can't get a whole bunch of reforms, and I mean serious reforms, then I don't give a damn who they want to put up (as a trial ballon) in 2008."
Zackley...we're just havin' some fun here, mi amigo, but we know we've got a hard road ahead of us fer the next 2-4 years, as we convince the American populace that devolving Power from the Federal Leviathan and BACK TO the States, Localities, and Individuals is good fer every non-lazy American!!
"And let's see some conservative Supreme Court Justices!!!"
Werks fer me...interpret the Law, don't make it up...MUD
I like the way you think, my man!
Supposing Dick Chaney has a relapse with his heart problems, and[I'm not advocating that]and he has to step down as Veep, couldn't George appoint Jeb as his V.P? Say, by 2006 or 2007, and then Jeb could seek the nomination for 2008. Anybody out there in Freepland know anything about this? I'ts only speculation, but it would be a great way to drive the Libs to madness. They're halfway there now, anyway.
From Vice President of the United States (President of the Senate):
Finally, after the death of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and the resulting vice-presidential vacancy, Congress debated what became the second constitutional amendment related to the structure of the vice-presidency. In 1967, the Twenty-fifth Amendment, addressing presidential vacancy and disability, became part of our Constitution. The absence of any provision for filling a vice-presidential vacancy had become intolerable in the nuclear age. Added impetus for the change came from a growing public concern at the time about the advanced ages of President pro tempore Carl Hayden, who was eighty, and House Speaker John W. McCormack, who was seventy-six. The amendment states that the president may appoint a vice president to fill a vacancy in that office, subject to approval by both houses of Congress. Before a decade had passed, the provision was used twice, first in 1973 when President Nixon appointed Gerald R. Ford to replace Spiro Agnew, who had resigned, and again in 1974, with the appointment of Nelson Rockefeller after Nixon himself resigned and Ford became president. The amendment also sets forth very specifically the steps that would permit the vice president to serve as acting president if a president becomes "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." Each of these changes further reflected the increased importance of the office.
So the answer is yes he could but I'm not sure conservatives would even stand for it. The MSM would certainly create a $hitstorm.
...but it would be a great way to drive the Libs to madness.
They're doing just fine on their own; unneccessary for us to get involved ;^)

RE:>..."we're just havin' some fun here, mi amigo,..."<
;^D
Sorry guys,
I know this was supposed to be a fun post...but I'm looking for ACTION from the Republicans in all three branches...not EXCUSES.
After all...they won't have little Tommie Dasshole to kick around anymore! {G}
I heartily discourage any attempt of Dubyuh to annoint his successor in such a way...we need to allow our next nominee to bubble up from the Primary process, imho...MUD
We see eye-to-eye here, my FRiend...gotta show dem Lib'rals what conservatism is all about...then, if it fails, let the voters put us outta Power. But let's not waste these next 2-4 years acting timid!!
Be BOLD...MUD
Why don't you know this?
Thanks for posting that! I just can't believe that everyone here doesn't know about this.
WRONG!
Actually, I did not know that...thanks fer the insight. Well, I didn't get the impression that Dubyuh wanted Jeb hangin' out around the White House anyway...LOL!!
FReegards...MUD
BTW...I was just over at LP.org and some ex-FReeper castigated me as a "brownshirt" not unlike Howlin and nopardons...he said we were all "vile" and had "ruined" FR.com...LOL!!
"VILE"? All of us are "brownshirts" and "vile"? "WE" ruined FR?
And I suppose that if ALL of the tinfoil covered,fringe of the fringe of the fringe banned crazies were still on FR,it would be "perfect". ROTFLMSO
They know he could beat Hillary.
LOL...yeah, this guy is a charter member of the perpetually-displeased, so I asked him if there had ever been a POTUS in his lifetime who'd been even scarcely adequate and he responded with some moolarkey about the Presidency being too much power for any one man so the question was moot...whatever.
FReegards...MUD
And that remark about the presidency,has to be THE most moronic thing I have EVER seen him post. Good grief!
