Unfortunately, a number of bloggers from the right side of the aisle here are lemmings of "The Limbaugh Institute for Conservative Studies!"

frankbowers .... you of course are wrong....
The President and Vice President serve a term of office of four years. The Twenty-second Amendment (which took effect in 1951) provides that no one may be elected to the office more than twice, and that no one may be elected President more than once who has held the office of (or acted as) President for more than two years of another's term (thus a person may hold the office of President no longer than ten years%u2014two four-year terms and one term less than two years having been a vice president who succeeded to the Presidency).

Neither party has a worthwhile candidate, all their political who res are all used up with a bunch of social diseases. Bunch of parasites who care nothing about this country or the american people. Anyone supporting either worthless party at this point is nothing but a sucker, and if you give money to these people you're dumber than the Pat Robertson followers.

frankbowers,

I understand what you are saying, but this is the strongest Dem field in years. Anything COULD happen.

This is directed to Scott. You are so right about Tsongas in 91 and Dean in 03 but now lets us not forget they did not have her good looks and nor her smarts. She is pretty nice to the eye as we say in this part of the country and they well not so, to me any way their skirts were too long.;-). I hope she gets it she will be great as president and the first woman. She has the smarts and she has Bill to fall back on when she is in doubt. He was extremely smart and never bragged of it save Americas financial a**. I did not like him and did not vote for him but her I will.

frankbowers, I hate to break it to you, but Bill Clinton CANNOT run again.

According to the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, "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." Prior to the adoption of the amendment, the Constitution set no limit on the number of presidential terms. The United States Congress passed the amendment on March 21, 1947.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was not bound by this because he was President when this amendment was passed: "...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."

Incidentally, FDR is the only president to be elected to more than two terms.
