Thanks.
I'd forgotten that part about ...NBB,<br />Thanks.<br />I'd forgotten that part about 'more than half the term.'<br /><br />And I'm sure Mitt, Ann, and the 5 Stooges thank you.<br /><br />Hopefully, we'll never have a Mitt Presidence to worry about. <br /><br />Or a Ryan on, either!Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-60777715450711807692012-08-25T14:51:24.436-04:002012-08-25T14:51:24.436-04:00No, Victor, assuming your conspiracy goes ahead, t...No, Victor, assuming your conspiracy goes ahead, they'd give the Mittster slightly more than two years, as long as he went with the program and signed every law they put in front of him. THEN the bump-off, so Ryan could be eligible for two full terms plus the second half of Romney's -- a good (for them) ten years.<br /><br />At least, that's my understanding of how it would work.<br /><br />Ah, checked, and the Twenty-second Amendment, per Wikipedia, "bars anyone from being elected president more than twice, or once if that person served more than half of another president's term."Never Ben Betterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814767173601107270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-59528536601143175362012-08-25T13:48:36.558-04:002012-08-25T13:48:36.558-04:00Pataki -- said he'd only serve two terms in th...Pataki -- said he'd only serve two terms in the spirit of term-limits. And he served three terms.
