The only qualification for Vice President is that the individual must be at least 35 years of age, a natural born citizen of the United States, and a resident of the U.S. for 14 years. The Rules of Succession do not delineate prior service as a disqualification for the office of Vice President as they do for the office of President. Which means that succession to the Presidency isn't in the rules - only being elected to the Presidency is in the rules. According to most constitutional lawyers surveyed in this article, including schools from Harvard's School of Government (or whatever it's called now) to Podunk University scholars, it's perfectly legal to elect a former President to the office of Vice President. Now if you read into that a little, you will find that potentially, the office of Vice President, which does not have term limits, to be a power base from which a smart politician can operate. And if you don't think the Clinton's have thought about it a lot, your nuts. :) OK. But lets say the president dies. Then the vice president becomes president no? Should this be Bill, how does that work with presidential term limits? Bill just does not want to stay away from those interns does he? From what I read, and it was by no means a complete dissertation, some heavy legal beagle constitutional types were consulted and according to them, there is nothing from preventing a former President, as Vice President, to succeed to the Presidency effectively giving any former President three terms (if it were to work out that way). All the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution says is ""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." It's elected - not succession - that was the key point in the discussion. |

Ya know Harry, no one really listens anymore cause we all know you just make it up as you go along. You need to stop "lobsta boating" Bush. Now if you really want to talk lets talk about all the missle and nuke technology the Clintons made available to the Chineese Military in exchange for a 3 million dollar donation right before the election. Which they "noticed" and returned soon after the election. Unfortunately, China did not give the information back, they used it to create better missles to take out our sattelites and of course passed it along to nice countries like Korea and Pakastan. The Clintons are about nothing but dirty money, probably the most sold out whitehouse in history. Billary, the most sold out White House in history... |

From Andy Borowitz: Next Year's News Predictions for 2008 from BorowitzReport.com April: Monica Lewinsky will announce her candidacy for President of the United States. She will offer herself as an alternative to Hillary, saying, "It worked before." She spent more time in the Oval Office and with the POTUS than Hillary did. Y-A-W-N. Maybe her "advice and consent" helped keep President Bill from doing really stupid stuff, like invading Iraq. Whatever Clinton's sexual indiscretions, the harm they caused pale in comparison to the horrors perpetrated by BushCo. It didn't stop Clinton from bombing and empty terrorist camp or an Aspirin factory.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - So, in your head, the President is the one to blame for all military blunders???? |
