If Hillary Wins..???

[Baloo]

Alright guys, I am not trying to start a war here, but I have a serious question, if Hillary wins the Democratic Presidential Nomination, could she chose Bill as her running mate for Vice President? Would it be legal for him to serve as a Vice President? :smt103

[fuzzis]

It wouldn't happen; they're not that stupid. The Vice President is not a role he would want in the first place...and it would continue to keep her in his shadow.

[Baloo]

Thanks for the reply Fuzz, I was just wondering if it would be legal "if" they decided to go that route. I don't know why, but it was just a thought that popped into my head. I guess it is because I keep seeing Bill in the news more than I do Hillary... I think that he is hurting her campaign more than helping her...

Maybe Monica could be the Chief of "Staff".

Circus Ride, you are hysterical!

If she wins I am movin' to Mexico and gonna call everyday and tell them there has been a huge tornado and see if you all will send me aid.

No. He would be in line to be President and he cannot be President again. So that ends that scary senario.

I thought that he could be president. I know there is a 8 year term limit but I thought that you could sit out a term and then run again if you wanted. If that is the case then he would be able to be president again.

Nope. 2 term limit. He's done his, so no more.

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
The Constitution of the United States (http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761569008/Constitution_of_the_United_States.html) specifies a four-year presidential term. It originally said nothing about how many terms a president could serve. But the precedent established by George Washington (http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761564084/George_Washington.html) limited his successors to two terms. Succession by a vice president after a president’s death provided the opportunity to serve more than eight years without strictly violating the two-term rule. No president tried to serve more than eight years in office until Republican Theodore Roosevelt (http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761558578/Theodore_Roosevelt.html). After filling out three-and-a-half years of the term of President William McKinley (http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761568615/William_McKinley.html) following McKinley’s assassination in 1901 and then serving four years in his own right (1905-1909), Roosevelt ran unsuccessfully in 1912 for another four years.
The need for steady leadership during World War II (http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761563737/World_War_II.html) (1939-1945) made it possible for Democrat Franklin Delano Roosevelt (http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761562953/Franklin_D_Roosevelt.html) to break the tradition by winning four successive elections between 1932 and 1944. In a reaction against Franklin Roosevelt’s extended presidency, in 1951 Congress and state legislatures approved the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which limits a president to two elected terms. The amendment also prohibits a person from running for election a second time if he or she has already served more than two years of a term to which someone else had been elected.

I object....there are too many Hillary threads on this here website ferum today!!!!

[Conveyor Belt]

See, it all boils down to that little word, Elected. If Hill is prez, and Bill is vice, then Hill 'dies' in some 'mysterious' accident, then Bill could be prez for the remainder of the term, b/c technically, he wasn't 'elected President', but appointed via the constitution. He was elected to the vice presidency.

Bill won't be the vice, though. Bill has his sites set on the UN chair position.

[Baloo]

Thanks ms82, that is the terminology that I was looking for and CB, I was thinking about that exact scenario that you just mentioned...

[dollfus46]

Going back to the title: If Hillary wins, I think we'll have more fun bitching than the Dems had the last 8. Heh heh heh. There's no way those two can keep from disgracing themselves and the White House. Particularly Lover Boy.

[dreamhippy]

We will all have to be companions to each other, because misery loves company.

Hey, Fish Bait, I was discussing a possible move to Canada with my Hubby just the other day if she or some other undesirable wins.:smt118

why move to Canada? That's what Hillary is shooting for!

[firefly]

why move to Canada? That's what Hillary is shooting for! What do you mean? Is she going to move to Canada???:smt118

[Conveyor Belt]

What do you mean? Is she going to move to Canada???:smt118

I mean, what's so great about Canada? It's cold and they have socialized everything, censored media and television and radio. National Health care, national sales tax that's outrageous. It's the world of Hillary's dreams.

[firefly]

Oh. whisch would be worse? Mexico or Canada?

Less crime

Yes, might as well get used to it...lol..

[Conveyor Belt]

Less crime

Less freedom...

[hendrixfreak70]

Obama doesn't change the equation either, though.

[hendrixfreak70]

More government will ALWAYS mean less freedom. Haven't we learned this lesson already????

[hendrixfreak70]

Hell for that matter Republicans don't much change the Big Government paradigm either. they just spend money elsewhere, rather than on a Nanny State.

[Reason]

Lying over a blowjob is far less disgraceful than screwing Mississippi and New Orleans before and after Katrina, not preventing 9/11, starting an illegal and expensive war and then botching it, treating veterans like garbage, never finding Bin Laden, a record deficit, spending increases across the board, ushering in a recession, consistently limiting scientific research, selling us out to China and Middle Eastern oil producing countries, sanctioning torture, and dissolving our privacy and civil rights. That's just a short list.

Yes, I think Bush wins on this point, his presidency is a terrible disgrace and will be recorded as a blight on the office.

[hendrixfreak70]

Whilst I agree with you I will revert back to an older post I made in regards to Clinton. He lied, not only about blowjobs but Arlington Cemetary plots, Chinese contributions to his campaign, he was at the helm of the Somalia debacle, Haiti, Kosovo. He could have gotten bin Laden too. He expanded government, of course not as bad as Bush has. FEMA should be dissolved so that really doesn't befall an administration. The only difference between Clinton and Bush is the number of women they have 'nailed'.

The point I am trying to make is both have sold our sovereignty down the drain, both have started bombing campaigns or wars, both have lied, used drugs (which doesn't concern me at all), dodge the draft or combat, expanded government which in turn gets in the way of life, left a legacy of disgrace according to many, usurped the Constitution, that is also a short list. Dems and Repubs=two wings of the same bird.

[Reason]

Oh, yeah, no argument here. Clinton certainly was no saint.

I just hate it when people act like the Lewinsky thing was worse than anything Bush has ever done. It's absurd.

[dreamhippy]

I cannot abide Bush. I cannot abide Clintons. I still think that the debacle in Waco, Texas, was one of the worst crimes against US citizens in US history. Ruby Ridge happened on Slick Willy`s watch, also. Definitely,the Parties are just two wings of the same bird. Remember the Mena Connection?
