The Constiution says only elected twice by popular vote, but one time Kerry just resigned. So can he argue that he was only elected by popular vote once.
Thoughts?

Actually, he didn't win the first one by Popular Vote either, he was appointed by the Supreme Court on an electoral vote technicality, but he actually lost the popular vote (barely) to Al Gore. But, lets just not tell him that he's eligible, okay?!

The constitution does not say anything of the sort. The constitution did not even limit the number of terms of president. FDR was elected president for four terms, though he did not finish all four. The amendment was grandfathered in after eisnehower and limits president to two terms, not based on the number of time the individual won the popular vote. the popular vote is not even final vote, and kerry's "resignation" was merely show. The votes still have to be counted, certified and the electoral college has to vote.

Bush was only elected once by popular vote. The second time he was elected by the electoral college. Gore won by popular vote. OH and lets not forget about his brothers state Florida changing their vote after the votes had already been counted.

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 President more than once.

Kerry only ran against him once. Gore did it the first time. And despite the nonsense asked in a previous question, even liberal organizations couldn't find any proof that Bush didn't win that election fair and square. I gotta say, though, wouldn't that be a big kick in the liberals' pants?! Take their whines of 8 years, take that guys "proof," and have Bush run and be elected again! Man, that would be somethin'!

No, i like McCain, yet i visit't stand Bush for a way he has acted as President. I never voted for him both. He has ruined our u . s . economically and in attractiveness. he's what's termed a "dry inebriated", someone who provide up ingesting and stoning up, yet did not change his personality. he's a liar and a puppet of the oil and military business "complicated" or sector. alongside with that, he isn't any longer very bright both, as is witnessed by technique of watching him answer questions after making speeches. i wish Scotland never receives a pacesetter like this, if and with any luck at the same time as it turns into self sustaining!

Well, he was in the office for two terms despite how he got there in the first place. It shold restrict him from running period

No, don't even think such a horrible thought. I'm going to have nightmares for weeks now.
