Didja know?

Answer 1

And that is Religion and Spirituality, how?

Answer 2

That is false.Read the 22nd amendment better.The only way a two term president could serve again would be is after his 2 terms,he was elected to an office that was in the line of succession to the presidency,and whoever ahead of him in line of succession was eliminated.That has never been done though. A president CANNOT take 1 term off and run again if he served two terms,or succeeded the presidency for a 2 year period and was elected afterward. You are distributing false information

Answer 3

Common fallacy. The amendment does not say "be elected to two consectutive terms" it just says two terms.

Amendment XXII:

Section 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.


Now, if a president were made vice president, then succeded a president who died in office, then that would be the only way that a 2 term president could get back into the office for a 3rd term.

Answer 4

Have you read the 22nd Amendment? Here it is.

Section 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.

Ratification was completed on February 27, 1951.

As far as I know it was ratified.

Answer 5

I really think if the current president were to take off and then run again in 4 years he would be assinated.

OOOh whats that big brother is watching me....nah not me but I really think I would move to England if he ever got in office again.

Answer 6

I have to agree with emma, I'm pretty sure we made an amendment against that.

It IS true that Washington set the two term precedent. It used to only be tradition.

Answer 7

I thought that FDR changed that. I mean they tradtionally only ran two and then he ran three and so they officially changed the rule. I can't remember though.

Answer 8

Allow me to bow before your incalculable wisdom and knowledge, oh Mighty One!

Answer 9

Actually I did. I always thought it was weird that Clinton didn't run again. He seems to have a big enough ego to want to.

Answer 10

You are incorrect. Read the constitution.

Answer 11

Yes. Consecutive is the no-no.
