how can a president become a president for a third term?

Question

if he became vice president after his second term and something happened to the president could he become president again

Answer 1

No two-term President is eligible to be Vice President.

However, it is possible to serve two terms and up to half of a third, if the partial term is the result of a Vice President succeeding to the Presidency and completing the unfinished term. In that case, he can have two full terms of his own.

Answer 2

Here is the scenario. A two term President is appointed to fill a vacant VP job, that must have less than two years to go on it.

The pres is unable or unwilling to serve, the VP becomes President for the remainder of the Presidents term.

Answer 3

It is unconstitutional for a 3rd term. That's why Bill can't be VP.

EDIT: Hey, "Invstrgadget" you may have an A in the class but you missed an important point. It is two terms PERIOD. It's not two FULL terms. If someone takes over for another president in mid-term, and then gets re-elected, that's it!

Same thing happens in CA regarding Arnold. Thank goodness he can't run for re-election again!

Answer 4

Can't. The president gets 2 terms whereas each term is limited to four years, with the option of two years more if we have a catastrophe or where civil unrest effects leadership.

And, no president can sit as Vice President after serving two terms. Because, he can never be President again, therefore, as a VP, the position becomes inoperable. (Ask the fat-butt running for president now, who wants to put the illiterate Bill Clinton on the ticket with her. They know he can not be the VP.)

Or, is this Hillary Rodham Clinton asking this question in disguise? You know better, we are not this stupid. Go manipulate your girlfriend - I think she is waiting.

Oh! And all thumbs downs are Hillary and Bill, and probably all her family, I am sure.

Answer 5

Technically, in the Constitution, it says a president is not allowed to serve more than two CONSECUTIVE terms. Thus, a president could serve two terms, another president could be installed for a term or two, and the previous president could try and run again. This has been brought to the attention of Bill Clinton, who claimed he believed the Constitution was not to be interpreted that way. In any event, presidents are really only supposed to serve two full terms and could serve another two years (ie: they were previously the v.p. and took over the presidency within the last two years of the term). Hope this helped and didn't confuse...

Answer 6

He could also run for a Representatives seat, win and be elected speaker of the house, something happen to pres and v-p and make it to the white house that way.
and read your constitution: it says can't be elected for more than 2 terms...says nothing about running as vp...you need to read before you answer.
and Pink, it says if he suceeds office with less than two years left, he can run for and be elected for 2 more terms.

Answer 7

they can only serve 2 full terms. a person may take over for a president who has died in office and there for totalling their presidency for 11-10 years in office. It's already been done too, i can't remember the president but he was a V.P., the president died, he took over, ran and won 2 full terms.

Answer 8

By creating an emergency situation, may be in the form of a major internal security problem or involvement in major war like WW III. Then the Constitution could be suspended. Term of President can be extended to meet the security threats.Now that situation does not exist. Iran is safe, North Korea is being friendly.

Answer 9

Yes. All the constitution says is that they can't be elected for more than two terms. It doesn't say anything about serving longer than eight years.

Plus, it's more likely they'll start as V.P., take over for most of a term, then get elected twice.

Answer 10

He can not be vice President either. So Hillary could not pick her husband as running mate.

Martial law would be the only way i can think of.
