President third term?

Of course with the 23rd amendment, no President is supposed to have more than two terms. However, can a former President run for a third term if another President has served a term after the former President's eight-year term?

 

I think the answer is yes. there was talk about Bill running again after Bush, so I think is no more then 2 consecutive terms in office.

Correct me if I'm wrong

Wow! That's crazy. I would have that it wouldn't be allowed. It would be interesting if a former President did regain office.

 

Sounds like a no, unless they were a vice president and got in if the president died.

 

FDR served as the elected 32nd President of the United States From March 4, 1933-April 12, 1945. He passed away on April 12, 1945. He was the only President elected for 4 terms. As far as I can remember.

 

So then it is possible to serve more then 2 terms in office

 

In theory, but only if the former president is an acting vice president and something happens to the current president.

 

I believe because a change in election laws a president can only serve 2 terms. You can lose the re-election but some years later can be elected to a 2nd term. I think that's all you can serve is 2 terms in a lifetime or else you will have different 2 term ex-presidents running for the office when current president's 4 year terms end. It sort of defeats the purpose of the 2 term limit. If a president dies in office like FDR did the VP is considered to be serving out the term of the late president but not in an elected capacity. Technically the VP was elected to the Office of Vice President Not the Office of President. Therefore should be able to run for two 4 year terms. Harry S Truman took over when President FDR died on 04-12-1945 and was elected to the Office of the President for two 4 year terms and served as President of the United States from 1945-1953.

 

"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 President more than once. "

Someone else getting elected in between your two terms, or after them, wouldn't matter. You can only be elected US President twice. Now if you are VP and you talk over in the second half of the President's term (and thus don't complete 2 years of Presidency), you can still be elected two (more) times. If you are VP and you are promoted to Prez during the first half of that term, then that counts---that would be considered one of the two terms.

Truman was able to do what he did (serve 3 years of FDRs term, and then 2 full terms of his own) because he was in office while the 22nd Amendment was passed. The original Constitution had no term limits, but until FDR got elected 4 terms in a row, it was never done. The 22nd Am. specifically states that it would not pertain to anyone currently in office (at the passing of this amendment).

 

Oh my goodness would any of you really want them to stay in or be re-elected? Has anybody researched the cost of Bamacare on our middle and lower class! That was not a question. Not to mention what it has done to the elderly on medicare! We need Antivirus protection in the Whitehouse!

 

Didn't Obama steal $500,000,000 from Medicare. Money that we were forced to pay into it. I know someone who worked off the books for 35yrs paying no taxes and is now being given everything as a reward with no co-pays. Not like you and I who have co-pays.
