Why, or why not?

No. Amending the Constitution is way too costly and time consuming. People should be allowed to vote for whomever they wish.

There is no constitutional amendment prohibiting the spouse of any other profession from entering the same profession or even taking the same position their spouse previously held is there? So why would the Presidency be any different?
Wouldn't that be a type of discrimination based on marital status?

How about a constitutional amendment prohibiting the idiot son of a former president from shaming the Nation, lying to get us into an obscene war, and sitting back and smirking and picking his nose while one of our great cities is destroyed? Yes, I'm for that amendment!

Yes, as long as you agree to favor a Constitutional amendment prohibiting the idiot son of a former President from taking office himself just so he could "play Commander-In-Chief" and dangle from strings controlled by puppetmaster Dick Cheney. -RKO- 10/24/07

No, but I would favor a constitutional amendment that lets a former DEMOCRATIC president run for president or vice president after he's already completed two terms in either office.

Absolutly not!
That would be like saying, Your wife can't be a teacher because you are or you can't be a policeman because your husband is...where would that kind of prohibition end?

no I wouldn't. I think the voters can tell a really bad candidate when we see one and just not vote for Hillary.
