| I flunked Political Science. Could someone tell me if Bill Clinton could run again in 2004? Is the two-term limit for life, or is the oval office limited to two consectuive terms? |

No. However he can still be impeached again! [i]TWENTY-SECOND AMENDMENT __________ PRESIDENTIAL TENURE 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 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.

This should answer your question: 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. The short answer: THANK GOD NO!!!! |

Quoted: OK, that leaves the next question. If he was shot and killed now, would it still be an assasination? [i]Main Entry: as·sas·si·nate Pronunciation: &-'sa-s&n-"At Function: transitive verb Inflected Form(s): -nat·ed; -nat·ing Date: 1607 1 : to injure or destroy unexpectedly and treacherously 2 : to murder by sudden or secret attack usually for impersonal reasons[/i] 'Treachery?' 'Impersonal?' Ha! Gotta say 'no' on this one too. |

Quoted: OK, that leaves the next question. If he was shot and killed now, would it still be an assasination?[/quote Damn as much as I hate the ass clown .... A pres is a pres . bad pres yes.. but still a pres. Dont wish harm on the man .. maybe cause it will be blamed on "us" and "they" will have more fuel for thier fire that seems to be flickering right about now. now.. if "they" see that option as helping them with some new ban/law ... I wouldnt put it past them... hell they killed the DOG! and Clinton isnt very far up from that :) |
