Could Bill Clinton or The Traitor be the Hildabeast's running mate?

[Sean Renaud]

It really is the sort of thing that almost makes you believe in the Bildaberg, Masons and Illuminati ain't it.

Where in the Constitution does it specifically say that a two term President is ineligible to be Vice President?

I'll wait.

1. A two-term president can't run for a third term; i.e. is ineligible to be president.

2. The 12th Amendment says that anyone ineligible to be president is also ineligible to be vice-president.


Are the dots really that hard to connect?


What's never been ruled upon is whether the following is allowed: a vice-president resigns/dies, someone like Bill Clinton is named as a replacement per the 25th Amendment, the incumbent president dies/resigns/is killed by the same people who killed Vince Foster, and then Clinton is president again without being "elected president."

But even if something like that is allowed under the Constitution, which I strongly doubt, it would obviously be politically unthinkable, which is clear from the fact that there's never been a serious effort to do something I personally favor, a repeal of the 22nd Amendment (the two-term limit amendment).

I'm less than certain in your interpretation to be honest Wrong.

That just broke my brain.

 

[Sean Renaud]

That just broke my brain.

I'm sorry. IT hurts me too in hindsight.

To be honest I am not certain that Wrong has properly interpreted the law.

Wrong, smegma breath. Apparently the dots are between your ears.

The 22nd Amendment is very clear:

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice. It says nothing about a vice president succeeding the President if he dies in office.

I never said he could run for a third term. You threw that red herring in.

Fucking idiot.

 

[Sean Renaud]

It's the difference between the spirit of the law and the letter of the law. By Miles logic what the any two term president should do is swap with his VP under the verbal agreement they will step down. It's in the rules.

My guess is it would get taken to court and on the outside chance the SCOTUS decided to side with the letter over the spirit we'd have a new amendment either the next year or the next time the Republicans took office.

 

[Disgustipated]

It's never going to happen and the red herring is that miles brought it up in the first place.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Tis nae a red herring. Miles believes this shit. It could happen and it wouldn't surprise him. Just like finding that Obama is actually the last son of Krypton sent here to save us from evil an evil Billionaire businessman bent on world domina. . .

You know what I'm gonna stop because that's oddly probable. Wouldn't surprise me either.

It wouldn't surprise me either if Carly Deville is currently trying to kidnap 101 dalmations to make a fur coat or to find out that Chris Christie is a Sea Witch.
