In Illinois the governors are limited to two terms, the first term in office, the second in prison.
That would be cool! Illinois governors stand a better chance of going to jail!
Much harder at the state level to blame everyone else for your incompetence, especially one already in the dumpster. No way his ego could handle the continual demise of Illinois under his helm.
I cannot imagine why he would do that. He will make a fortune writing his auto/bio and on the speaking circuit.
is there a citizenship requirement for the governor job?
The magic negro will NOT step down to Governor...he wants to be King of the world!
I don’t think they can afford the Obama’s Travel/Vacation expenses
Hell no he wouldn’t.
He might try for SecGen of the UN, though.
The soon-to-be-ex-President with the funny name would fit in fine in Madiganistan with the defacto capitol of Rahmabad.
The idea is absolutely hilarious; with Obama’s penchant for spending, it will hasten the inevitable collapse of the Chicago and state governments by a good number of years. They would go BK few as three or four, I’d guess.
Cloward-Piven. It’s all he knows.
Hmmm....not many Presidents run for office again.
The ones that come to mind are:
Theodore Roosevelt (President on the Bull Moose ticket)
Andrew Johnson before that (U.S. Senate? - of course Senators were elected by state legislatures back then...)
John Quincy Adams (U.S. House, as I recall)
John Tyler, Confederate House.
“His visit included a trip down memory lane to his old Senate office* and a campaign-style stop to a popular lunch spot**, The Feed Store.”
*As a Senator, he voted, ‘Present’ 129 times.
**Seems all that guy does is EAT - on our dime!
I’m not sure if that’s exhaustive - but 2 of the 4 were never elected President (acceded through vacancy) - with TR acceding through vacancy before being elected in his own right.
JQA was a one-termer.
Why? To finish it off?
I don't think Obama will rake in anything near what the Clintons have. He doesn't have the energy to hustle for it like Bill and Hillary. He isn't considered a desirable party guest like Bill was for a long time. He won't have the political influence and access like Bill and Hillary have had, especially Hillary as Sec of State. Last but not least, Obama will have to pay Bill Ayes a lot of money to ghostwrite his memoirs.
I agree. But don't tell Barry that. He expects it and feels fully entitled to it.
No....
There isn’t much left to steal in California...
SecGen of the UN, however, opens up an entire WORLD of theft and graft opportunities. And he can continue to hate on America openly, as well.
do you have to be a citizen to run for governor?
