As I understand it a President can only stay in the White house for two terms.

Obama was President for two terms.

Lets play a scenario.

Joe wins the election and less than a year after, he due to health problems, has to resign and the VP becomes the President in this case Michelle Obama.
She pick her husband Obama as her VP.

Can Obama become President again, if something should happen to his wife, Michelle Obama ?

There is a reason why Michele Obama's is not going to be Biden's VP pick. Having the Obama name on the ticket would be almost as bad as having Clinton's name on it. They are not that stupid.

Trump lives a lot by inciting the plebs by making suggestuive statements that often are wrong, ofteh are lies, but he hammers the lies home again and again,and the masses tend to beoeive those who yell
1. the first,
2. the loudest,
3. the ost often.
By that he can hope ti raise pressure formt he street, oime he ahs int he past, to have rules and laws chnaged in his favour.
In this case it is unlikely to be successful, however. I just say this is no unknown method to him, and he has used excessive use of it in the past three years.

You can tell when Skybird has gone off on a ranting tantrum because his spelling always goes to hell.

LMAO, no if Mrs Obama is VP and then becomes President because Biden resigns, then the Speaker of the House moves into the VP slot. (there is a clear line of succession into the White House)

I think I posted the following here once before:

Gerald Ford is the only person to serve as both President and Vice President. He never sought either office and was never voted into either office. He was the Speaker of the House and moved into the VP slot when Spiro Agnew (Nixon's VP) resigned, He then became President when Nixon resigned.

Ford only became the Vice President because Nixon nominated him for the job and the Senate confirmed his appointment. It wasn't an automatic promotion. Nixon could have chosen anyone and left Ford as Speaker.

As I understand it the SotH is third in line for succession to the Presidency but only if both the President and Veep are removed, die, resign or become unable to serve at the same time.

Otherwise the Veep moves up to POTUS and he chooses his own Veep.

Will she be US president in lets say three years from now on?

This is why we don't want to be allowing Democrats to run the country. They will just continue to sell us out to the ChiComs.

Sen Feinstein says China is growing into a ‘respectable country among nations’

Most Americans realize that the reason China has a lot of productive citizens is because of the wealth they obtained from the USA and other Western countries. That reality, however, has not affected Senator Dianne Feinstein, who had a Chinese spy in her employ for 20 years. She claims China “pulled tens of millions of people out of poverty” and is growing into a “respectable country among nations.”

I know President Xi of China very well. He is a great leader who very much has the respect of his people. He is also a good man in a “tough business.” I have ZERO doubt that if President Xi wants to quickly and humanely solve the Hong Kong problem, he can do it. Personal meeting?

Guess who?

The only thing that qualifies Mrs Obama is that she is black and Mrs Obama

As someone already said she would be a big mistake to pick her for VP, but democrats have been known to make mistakes
before (just not as bad as McCain did picking a woman for his VP)

Three more months and we haven't even had one debate yet ... it's going to get bigger and better than last time I'm sure.

I'm going to run out of pop corn going to order some now

You just don't get it do you ... Trump is a salesman, a con man, a poker player, plus he cares about htis country getting the best deal it can with China.

I don't know why I waste my time defending him when you can only see his faults ... You gotta love our country to pick the right one

[Buddahaid]

Great endorsement. Used car salesman par excellence.

Maybe you don't know how deep Feinstein and her husband are in the ChiComs pocket but understand that she follows the same pattern as Biden. She uses her political position to get sweet business deals for her family members in return her for selling out the country on the legislative front. A senior member of the Senate Committee on Intelligence and Defense Committee she has had multiple Chinese agents on her staff for decades. How many of our secrets have been stolen from her office? If we (not you) put her and the rest of her Democrat ilk back into power over us (not you) they will continue doing it and probably at a far more greater rate than before.

This is from way back in 1997. Maybe it will open your eyes.

I clearly remember what a Danish Journalist, said a few month after Trump had been elected.

People shall have in mind Mr. Trump isn't a Politician in the remark we know them. He is a business man and when he sees a deal, he sees it with a business man's eyes not a politicians.
