Well, i'd be willing to bet you anything that he will, seeing as how there's this llittle thing called the 22nd Amendment to the US Consitution.
"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." |
So what? That's just a part of the Constitution. The thing that Bush referred to as"just a piece of paper."
In wartime, his idea of the unitary executive gives him the power to suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Why do you think Kellogg, Brown & Root are building concentration camps in this country for Homeland Security? He can declare anyone a terrorist anytime for any reason at all with no legal recourse to the victim. So when they round all of us evil, traitorous, liberal democrats will you come visit us in the camps? I'm sure I'll be there. Just ask for Ivan Denisovitch.
