Obama or Hillary; what difference, at this point, does it make?

Similar to the rumblings during Clinton’s 2nd term.

Ironic or hypocritical that they skipped calling for a 3rd term for GW Bush.

That will not stand, on all fronts.

"They’ll just manipulated your account and keep posting, so nobody will know."

Who knows, maybe they already have? Hey Laz, what have you hit lately?

What does that mean, "hit lately"? I'm not violent if that is what you are asking.

Should a President be allowed to serve a third term? And should members of Congress and the Supreme Court have term limits like the President?

No.

Yes.

Uh, oh, yet another racist thread on Free Republic.

The FCC will put a stop to this.

Two years for each is more than enough.

Not really.

And I would favor term limits on the judiciary too.

Maybe. Something is wrong there.

Do you honestly think it won’t happen?

Yes.

There should be Constitutional terms limits for all. That is especially so since the Founders did not factor in ‘political parties’. The envisioned a republic, with elected ‘electors’ choosing presidents, with congress being selected at the lowest level, and with legislatures even closer to the people selecting senators. Personally, I think they should have foreseen problems with lifetime appointments of anyone, and especially judges, but they did it anyway.

President - 8 years. (2 @ 4 years)
Senators - 8 years (2 @ 4 years)
Representatives - 8 years (4 @ 2 years)
Justices - 8 years. (2 @ 4 years)

Can they be one of each of the above? I have no problem. They’re different jobs.

Might be worthwhile to end lame-duck sessions.

If they lose on election night, they are out immediately.

That would keep them from doing retaliatory damage under the guise of a lame duck session.

“Should President Obama, or any President, be allowed to serve a third term?”

Answer:

Should President Obama, or any President, be allowed to BE served a third term, fourth, fifth, sixth, etc.,?

They ALL, all of them already are, from the time Reagan left office.

And ALL the Congress and Fed employees ALL ready are, after they left office(s).

Looking forward to the grand finale.

Here come the trial balloons. Get the conservatives and republicans all riled up so the media can blast the republicans for hyperventilated about something that would NEVER happen... Then, of course, this must be investigated because Obama is the most important president in history and needs more time to finish saving the world. Then of course democrats will have to introduce legislation to temporarily ignore the 22nd amendment. Then, when the republicans go ballistic again the press and democrats will call them all racist. And McConnel and Boehner will go along to get along and say, “well OK. Just this one time.”

Regardless if Obama leaves office it is going to take 40 years to clean out the regulatory bureaucracy. Obama has been installing 20 year old little goons that will do his bidding regardless who is president.

ABSOLUTELY!

That should be #1 on the list.

And it should apply to congress and the senate too.

Ending that long delay might help bring the presidency back down to earth like it was in Harry Truman's day.
Treating the president and his family like a royal family has gotten far, far out of hand.

Rule 303 will ensure that 0bama will never serve a 3rd term. He knows that even trying would be an open declaration of civil war.

1- six-year term max for President
1 - six-year max term for Senators
1 - four-year terms max for Congresmen

unpaid. They have to raise their own support not to exceed 100K per year.

And they cannot come back to Washington or lobby either before or after the term. Any influence peddling before or after is a 30 year sentence.

All bureaucrats must hand in resignations. Some will be rehired. about 10%
