It's the one that says a president can only serve two terms. If it was repealed, Bill Clinton could be president again.

I like my Constitution just the way it is. After 8 years of Bush, we'll be ready for some new ideas \n.

It goes by the term of the person to hold the office.  And I don't mean when a person runs for reelection-type term.  Cleveland was president, then he didn't run/lost (I don't remember what happened) then he became president again.  Thus, Cleveland was elected and was the sitting president at two different times, which entitles him to be called the 22nd & 24th.  If he would have done it all at the same time, then it would only be considered one spot.\n\nI imagine this is also done to avoid confusion in history class.

I wish that more people were asking that question because I wish Bill was still our president. Take a look at every other country and how long their main leaders stay in power. The only term limits we need are in the senate and the congress so real people can get more involve with government. If we have a president the represents us well then why not keep him.

The Presidential election is in 2008, but you will probably start hearing about the those who plan to run for president now since the Senate and Representative races are over, as of yesterday. \nThe Presidential term is 4 years and he can be reelected once for a second term for a total of 8 years.\nPresident Bush was initially elected in November, 2000,  so yes he was in office at the time of the 9/11 attack;  it was just a little under his one year anniversary.  \n\nAnybody that calls you a stupid retard is really one themselves.  There is no such thing as a dumb question if you don't know or don't understand the answer.\nI give you a lot of credit for asking this question on Yahoo Q&A.

Hey gang, I don't think the Constitution allows for a recall election.  I think only states have recall election provisions, and then only some states.  I do think, however, that the states could pass a constitutional amendment making the President answerable to the people for his crimes and come clean with all available records, but can you really imagine such a thing happening, with our f'ed up media?\n\nAs I see it, the only ways to get rid of this President are to a) rise up in a mass, anti-Constitutionally elected government revolution, or b)elect a Democratic majority to the House and then successfully impeach both Bush and Cheney simultaneously, thus giving the Presidency to the Speaker of the House, who would be a Democrat.  To my mind, that's the only real scenario that works.  I suppose if we had a different media and more active populace, a new party could split the vote, and all hell could break loose, but I don't think we're going to see a repeat of what happened in 1860 and Lincoln and the Republican Party takeover of the White House.  So that leaves us with Democrats taking control and actually acting on something the people want, which is impeachment.  And if impeachment isn't acted upon, this country sinks deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole.

We clearly have the best form of government in the world today.\nHowever, we have allowed our government to become embedded with life-time politicians that are manipulated by too many outside companies or groups that want to promote their own agenda, whether it is good for the country or not.\n\nI believe we really need to limit the terms of all government officials. We only allow the President to serve 2 terms, yet we allow our Senators and Congressman to serve life terms. This doesn't make sense. Terms need to be uniform for all politicians in the federal government. Two four-year terms should be the maximum anyone can serve.

He can be impeached again, but not for the same crimes/reasons unless new evidence is presented. (5th amendment in the constitution ~ double jeopardy law)

Because in Mexico the term is for 6 years and presidents are only allowed 1 term.

the more liberal party can now set the agenda. Bush can not be elected again, we have a two term presidential limit

"Article Two (US Constitution) also defines a Presidential term at FOUR YEARS; subsequently, the Twelfth Amendment (1804) revised the procedure for electing the President and the Twenty-second Amendment (1951) established Presidential term limits."\n\n"Senators serve for SIX-YEAR terms that are staggered so elections are held for approximately one-third of the seats (a "class") every second year. "  (Although a Senator serves for 6 years, every 2 years 1/3 of the Senate seats are up for election/reelection.)\n\n"Each Representative serves for a TWO-YEAR term and may be re-elected an unlimited number of times."

January 3, 2007.  The only exception would exist for someone who was elected to fulfill the unexpired portion of someone else's term; that person would be sworn in at the next session of the current Congress.

Simply, we have a constitution that states we have a president.  It is possible to change it, but understand that throughout the world, we have one of the most stable elected government.  We have two choices because we have two major political parties.  There has been other parties with different platforms, but those platforms were absorbed by the major parties.  Having too many parties is not good.  Just like having too many choices.

Our form of Democracy has elections at specified times and we do not dissolve our government and hold elections at any time we want.  George W. Bush will be in office until 1/20/2009 when his term ends and we will then have a new president because he will not be able to run again for president.  We have a 2 term limit for our President and he is on his second term.  Starting sometime during late 2007 we will start to see candidates who want the job of being president and we will begin going through our Primary process where we determine who will get each Parties Nomination for the Office of President.  We will hold our National Elections in November, 2008 and a new president will take office on January 20, 2009.  Until then you will have to dislke Bush, after that I don't know who it is that you will dislike, but I know that you will dislike him or her as they will be American and will continue to hold the same values as Bush holds as far as keeping our country safe.  Do you know what makes America Great, it is because not only will you be able to hate our new president but so will we if we want to. It is not against the law to hate our leaders, can you say the same for where you live?  Probably not.  I am glad that you asked this question because it shows the way that you think, you addressed this to your fellow Americans, yet you had no idea how the country works.  This tells me two things immediately, one is that you do not have good enough English to pass the citizen test, and second if you had even failed a U.S. citizen test you would know more about it than you do.  The one thing that I hope that you understand most about my answer is yes there are many American's who do not like our President or agree with all of his policies, however more American's will agree to stand with him than against him and even if we get a new President from another political party they will still be American and continue down the path that we are on.  If you do not want America to expand its war on Terrorism stop terrorism and we will stop.  As long as you chant Osama bin Laden's name and cheer for him to attack America again you are not helping your cause at all.

The question is a bit ambiguous. Any democratic government has rules defined by It's Constitution. So it all depends on which federal government you are speaking of. The U.S Constitution for example calls for elections every two years. There isn't a prescribed method of not having an election, which would only be conceivable in a time of such great conflict/disaster that the president would be forced to suspend the entire constitution and declare martial law. This is virtually an impossibility, such events would be so terrific it probably destory the U.S, or any other government as we know it.

Already been answered.  Consecutiveness has nothing to do with it.  Read the Constitution. 2 terms max.

Bill can't run for president and know one would vote for Hillary if she ran for president.\n\nCoach

The current president (lame duck) would finish his term and the Vice president would assume the presidency. Since this has never happened before, I'm sure someone would try to get a new election in progress.
