My brother thinks that he can serve agen after serving 2 terms already. He sed his teacher told him that presidents cant serve more than 2 consecutive terms but can serve more than 2 terms as long as they are not consecutive. So basically, he thinks Bush cant run in this coming election in 2008 but can later on because its not right after his other 2 terms.

Tell your brother that he is wrong. This is Bush's last term. He is only entitled to two terms.

Thats public school for ya. If his teacher told him that, I want a refund of my education tax dollars. 2 terms for life, that is all you get.

If this was possible, Bill and not Hillary would be running against each other and he would would win the nomination.
Remember 'BUY one and get one free'. They certainly have the financial resources to become dictators.
