If Bush and Co. repealed the 22nd amendment would you vote for BIGDOG?

Poll question: If Bush and Co. repealed the 22nd amendment would you vote for BIGDOG?

If Bush and Co. repealed the 22nd amendment would you vote for BIGDOG (Bill Clinton) in your state's primary/caucus? This assumes that he wants to run.

[Melodybe]

1. Yes but mainly out of spite.

[formernaderite]

18. I be tempted to...but

I also look back at Clinton and the way we hemorrhaged our seats in the Senate and Congress...

[Yupster]

24. I voted yes, but that's the problem

I'd vote for him because he was the nominee.

But what if he turned 75 and was running for his fifth term? Np Democratic candidate would challenge him in the primaries because he'd be a sitting four term incumbant. So I'd vote for him again because he was the nominee.

What about when he's 87 and running for his seventh consecutive term? Since no one would challenge him in the primaries, I'd vote for him as the nominee.

That's why I like the 22nd Amendment. We may miss a good third or fourth term once in a while, but we also miss the President for Life stuff that other countries suffer through.

2. Just to see freepers' collective heads explode n/t

[whistle]

3. And I would cast all one hundred of my votes for Clinton

[Mass]

4. Against a Repug, sure

but he would not be my first choice in a primary.

[wryter2000]

5. Not in the primary

In the general election, sure. Except maybe out of spite as one other person has said here and to watch freeper heads explode as someone else said.

[Initech]

6. I would, but...

It would mean that Dubya could run for a third term as well.

That would suck.

[jojo54]

7. Would vote for him in a heartbeat

but I think he's going to be content in Kofi's job. IMHO.

[calimary]

20. In a heartbeat here, too. I happen to think that, overall, he was pretty

good. Frankly, his record in the Oval Office grows more towering and impressive EVERY DAY, compared to the World-Class JACKASS in there now. Besides, as some others have already posted here - it'd make the Clinton-haters' heads explode. Which would give me the GREATEST pleasure.

[pnutchuck]

8. That would definitely be the back fire of the century!! eom

[jwirr]

9. There is a law against three consecutive terms

but is there anything stoping him from running for a second set of terms?

[NYC Liberal]

10. The 22nd Amendment prohibits anyone from serving

more than two terms. (Or, really, more than 10 years, if they serve part of a previous president's term on their death/resignation.)

[Dave Sund]

11. Yes

The 22nd Amendment.

[Is It Fascism Yet]

15. Yes, I think that is also prohibited, you get to be pres 2 terms and thats

it for life. But Bill Clinton is such a genius of foreign policy and economic policy and really all around such a genius that we should certainly avail ourselves of his talents in some other governmental capacity, he would make a wondeful Ambassador to the UN, wouldn't he? Waste not, want not, and Shrub has shown his usual idiocy by not drafting Clintons talents into service for this country. Clinton is still very young with many productive years ahead. I hope someday Hillary will be Pres and he will be "First Gentleman".

[kevsand]

12. To paraphrase Garp, "He's pre-disastered!" nt

[cosmokramer]

13. Definitely.

[Is It Fascism Yet]

14. Oh how I'd love to have Bill Clinton back, but, we cannot allow them to

fubar our constitution anymore and especially not the 22nd ammendment, which is our only protection against The Shrub Family Dynasty they plan. After Jeb we'd get the empty headed Jenna. Yuk!

[Crunchy Frog]

16. It would all depend on who all was in the race

by the time it got to my state.

I would certainly vote for him in the General election against any Repuke.

[paineinthearse]

17. Bush and Co. do not have the power to repeal the 22nd amendment

Constitutional amendments take the vote of 3/4 of each branch of Congress and 2/3 of the states.

[Yupster]

25. Opposite

It's 2/3rds of the House and Senate and 3/4ths of the state legislatures I think.

[autorank]

19. A BIG *NO*. Why give Poppy any more influence than he already has!

"What is hidden shall be revealed" as "management" allows.

[Jai4WKC08]

21. Probably yes, but I really don't know

It would depend who else was running. But he'd be near the top of my list, and he'd probably already have the nomination by the time my sorry ass state got around to voting anyway.

[GOPBasher]

22. In the general election, yes; in the primary, no. n/t

[Arkana]

23. I would indeed

I regret that I wasn't old enough to vote when he was running in '92 and '96. Plus, it would KILL the Repubs.
