I was having an interesting conversation the other night with someone, and they asked if I thought President George W.Bush might revoke, or re-write the 22nd Amendment in order to hold a 3rd term in office. The reason behind the question was because Bush has taken it upon himself to write so many laws that have caused Congress to go scrambling to catch up.

This is of course the law which was put into place because of F.D.R. holding four terms in office due to WWII. What are other ATS'ers views on this?

Remember now, Bush has been extremely quiet about the upcoming election. This of course would be so neither McCain nor Obama can get elected in November 2008.

No, I'm not in favor of this, nor am I in favor of any of the choices.

Ender, he's done so many other crimes against our country, what's really to stop him?

Thank you, President Bush, for leaving office, quickly and quietly.

Thank you, President Bush, for relocating to Paraguay, according to all the rumors.

Thank you, President Bush, for not revoking/re-writing the 22nd Amendment.

Thank you, President Bush, for pissing off the rest of the world, which now hates the American citizens even though we never elected you, since you stole the elections.

Thank you, President Bush, for pushing us to the brink of anarchy, and for us to not cross the line which would allow you to put America under Martial Law, because we as combined citizens are smarter than you.


I sure hope he doesn't do something that stupid.

I agree he's broken a lot of laws. But my point is even if he finds a way to stay in office a third term - i fail to see how an impeachment process would fail


basically - all the stops would have to be pulled on the republican side, they'd have to forever destroy their credibility and reveal themselves in this ugly little prank they'd try to pull...on the whim of a chance that it might work


certainly the opportunity exists for him to try
but i dont know if its in the realm of remote possibility

Well, it's obvious he's not dealing with reality. So, that being said, what's to stop him revoking the 22nd Amendment, and then re-writing the election process out altogether.

I mean, he's already pardoned himself and Cheney, for war crimes, correct?

This isn't much of a stretch for him to do.

Again, I'm not wanting it to happen, only curious what ATS'ers might think.

Okay, well would him declaring a state of National Emergency, and thereby disabling the election, be similar to revoking the 22nd Amendment?

It was an interesting postulation as to why he has been so quiet about the election.

Let's see, Obama and Clinton were fighting over the Democratic slot.

McCain really hasn't been trying all that much, except to discredit Obama, via Paris Hilton insults.

And,...Bush and Cheney are quiet,...way too quiet, about their leaving office.

Bush Pardoned For War Crimes : YouTube


Yup, I knew about that, but thanks for finding it, and I re-posted it.

I think Bush and Cheney have something up their sleeves.

No, I do not think the American citizens would allow nor like that.

I'm not saying it will happen, but I sure see him not stopping his illegal activities either.

But what if that's the intent behind it? It there's a Revolution, this gives him cause to enact Martial Law, under a "National Disaster" scenario.

If the populace of the U.S. were to mass panic, because of another election snafu like 2000, would this not cause all sorts of problems?

I see your point, and it's a good one. I definitely wouldn't put it past him. I just have a hard time seeing that happening. If there's an election issue, I can see him holding on a little longer until it's resolved. But for him to hold on indefinitely the election would need to be voided, and he would the need support of Congress and, ultimately, the Supreme Court.

Of course, the Supreme Court has ruled in his favor before.

Anything is possible with the current Idiot in Office.

As for Congress, I do not see them doing anything more than war profiteering, just like Bush and Cheney, so what's to stop them from pushing this to happen.

We are so many states of war right now, that we are literally right on the brink.
