How long can a person serve at Governor of California?
I don't recall any Governor serving longer than 8 years as Governor of California. Can Arnold run again and again and again?

1. Apparently only until you are recalled.

2. NO, he can run
one more time than that is IT! The Governor of CA can only have two terms, they used to be able to serve term after term but that was changed around the late 60's early 70's.

3. Then the good news is, Arnold is done by 2010 or maybe 2006
On second thought, lets recall him first after we move out Bush.

4. as soon as he cuts the deal w/ the
fossils - fuels that is - we can have him sent back 2 Austria!

I don't think CA can afford another recall - hell, we couldn't afford this one.

hard to say about what has happened. If AS is in is this the first term?

6. I believe that since
there is 3/4 of Davis' term left for the groper to serve it will count as a full term. I think if there was less than half of the term left than the groper could have that plus two full terms of his own for a total of 10 years. Thank goodness that there is to much time left and he won't have more than 7 years total, if he gets reelected in 2006 ( which is bad enough).
