12/9 If the president cannot serve over 2 consecutive terms, does that
mean our beloved Bill Clinton could come back to serve?
\_ It would be funny to see a Bill Clinton / Hillary Clinton
presidential bid. (Gives new meaning to the term "running mate",
though I'm sure those two haven't actually mated in 10 years).
\_ No one can serve more than two terms, consecutive or not,
short of a constitutional amendment (for details, see
22nd Amendment).
\_ It also says here that the manufacture, sale, or
transportation of intoxicating liquors is prohibited.
And ducks are required to wear long pants.
\_ And dancing on the Sabbath shall be punishable by 40 lashes.
\_ But he could be a Veepee.
\_ But he could be a Peepee.
\_ No, he can't. One of the roles of the VP is to become
president if hte president is incapacitated.
\_ Really? By the same logic, a VP must be US-born. In
reality someone foreign-born is allowed to become the VP.
\_ The VP is 1st in sucession, but there are a lot of other
people further down the line. The VP could be president
of the senate, and in the event POTUS dies, the VP is
passed over for a native-born person.
\_ It's not that he can't do more than 2 consecutive terms, he can't
do more than 10 years total. If someone is removed from office,
a VP can become president for a partial term and then server two
full terms... so if Hillary were assassinated, would Bill be able
to take over as President for a while, assuming his total time in
in office were less than 10 years? |
