Does anyone have a legitamite source that sites it one way or another?
Read the constitution!
That brings up a good question. Can a ex-President, who was in office for two consecutive terms, run again after not being President for a term or more? I always thought that since the third and possibly fourth terms wern't consecutive with the first two, it was legal. Does anyone have a legitamite source that sites it one way or another?
Came about a couple years after FDR with the 22nd Amendment.
22nd AmendmentSection 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term. Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.
Virginia Senator Jim Webb D-Va. Didn't he say he would have liked to slug Pres. Bush?, might have been somebody else,,classy guy (heavy sarcasm added). He is on the "short list" according to a PMSNBC's talking head.
Bro'O will pick someone that will be an "insurance policy" for him. What I mean, he will pick someone that we would really hate to see takeover IF something happens to the president. Sure, the logic is somewhat flawed because we already hate the idea of seeing B-HO as our President. All the same ... my list of people that would be good insurance for him starts with Nancy Pelosi.
