Can Clinton (Bill) be President again?

I think he's the only one who can fix this mess.

Is he limited to 2 CONSECUTIVE terms - or two terms period?

Can only be elected twice - or once if they serve more than two years of someone else's term.

Oh well ....

is only one charismatic leader who can fix this mess, we are in more trouble than than I thought, which is saying something, because I think we are in deep.

"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."

as someone's VICE President, right?

It may be loophole in the rule. But it is farsical to contemplate.

Why would the big dog want to be vice-president??? He would outshine anyone he ran with and bring back all the Monica garbage with him.

And - he seems willing to stand up to Republicans - at least sometimes.

I miss him. Crime down, teen pregnancy down, abortions down, poverty down, unemployment down. With Bush - now even infant mortality is up.

...he doesn't seem to have a problem with anything and is sticking to the Republican talking points. You know, "let's not play the blame game." Another words, 'let's blame the Mayor and Governor for everything so that Bush and other Washington insiders walk away squeaky clean.'

In a country such as ours, only one man can fix this? I submit this Party has more than a few who could run, win, and "fix" this mess just fine.

Wes Clark

Al Gore

Gary Hart

I did not include any women on that list because, I think our country will never vote for a female POTUS this time around. But, I do not doubt that

Barbara Boxer

Maxine Waters

Stephanie Tubbs-Jones

would all make fine Presidents, and could sure as heck clear this mess up.

Also, I didn't include Howard Dean because he said he wasn't going to run as long as he is Chairman of the DNC, but Howard could do the job, too.

This Party has many who could fix this mess. We just have to be smart enough to get one of them nominated and elected over the corporate shills who will be sure to run this time out. God forbid the Corporations and the Special Interests would be left out of the fix!

too bad that can't happen - two terms ... that's all

he ran as someone's VP and then that person resigned or (god forbid) passed away while in office?

TC

A president resigned or died, that vice-president ascended to office and appointed Clinton as vice-president, then the new pres also resigned?

If Bill Clinton was elected to the House of Representatives AND he was elected speaker, he could become President if the both the elected President and Vice-President left their offices.

Leave the Bill Clinton thing aside. Bill probably isn't interested anyway. He's "served his time".

There is a VERY GOOD reason for this provision in the constitution. Beyond not letting an individual dominate the federal beuracracy for too long, a president's domination on his own party can have a profound stifling affect.

Just look at the way that Republicans double over in logical gymnastics to defend "THEIR MAN". It is almost a certainly that in politics you will fight for YOUR TEAM, irregardless of what plays they are running. The reason is simple, if you abandon your team you will have no political protection and you will be trampled by the other team.

The president's "lame duck" period though mis-named is important because it gives a party room to have a debate amongst itself on the direction it has taken. If the president can run perpetually, there is no "lame duck" time and the party will largely be forced to stick it's nose it's president's ass PERMANENTLY!!!!

Then it wouldn't bump it's butt when it hopped.

Jeez people! There are plenty of good candidates out there! We just have to promote them! And Bill's wife ain't one of 'em. We HAVE to usurp the media!
