The president is not involved in the process of amending the constitution. It would have to be initiated by the congress. Even if they passed an amendment and sent it to the states for ratification, it would probably exclude anyone from eligibility currently serving as president, in this case Bush. He can't use the argument that we're in a war when we've have changes in administration during World War 2, Korea and Vietnam.

Looks like you haven't any idea what the Constitution says. The President has no power to change the constitution. Two thirds of the House and Senate have to vote to amend the Constitution, and then 75% of the states must approve.

The President of the United States doesn't have the authority to change the Constitution.

If bush were to try and "bypass" the elections here in the USA there would most likely be another civl war.

Why bother to change something that means nothing to him. He ignores the Constitution as a matter of daily business.

Are all Bush bashers as stupid as you? In order to serve a third term he would have to get a bill introduced in Congress, have it pass, and be ratified by 2/3rds of the States. All in less than 20 months. This isn't a banana republic.

Only the congress and a % of states have the power to change the constitution. It's a long process, and it hasn't started yet. So I would say no he is not.

Not only is this a stupid question but its been asked about a bazillion times. No he cannot change the constitution and if you think he can you need to go back to wherever you got your education and complain about the quality you received.

Although it wouldn't have come in the form of a "Constitution change"... a hard sell in that form, that would have been my worst fear before last Nov., but I think the Democratic Congress and a few but enough Repukes would put impeachment ON the table in the case of such a blatent Dumbya power grab. Down with Dictator Dumbya!!!
