I fully expect him to try to change the Constitution so he can remain in the White house.  He tried, and failed, to have the 2004 elections postponed for a short period of time and was told no by the Supreme Court.\nI saw a cartoon a while back that showed Bush in the Oval office sitting behind a desk yelling, "Crown me, crown me."  There was someone sitting on the other side of the desk and another was walking into the room.  The second person said to the man walking in the room, "No, we aren't playing checkers.  He is serious." \nI think it is very scary the way he changes the Constitution to suit him and tramples over the rights given to us when this country was founded.\nI can only hope and pray our economy and country as a whole can sustain until he leaves office in January 2009.

It could be possible. The Consitution says the President can only be ELECTED to no more than 2 terms. \n\nIf the current President served as Vice President and due to an illness, death, or some other situation where the previous President could no longer function, than the Vice President would become President.\n\nOnly Franklin Delanore Roosevelt served more than 2 terms. He was elected for 4 terms and served 3 full terms and a few months of the 4th term. \n\nThe consitution was admended after his death to limit a President to only 2 terms.

It is impossible for this to occur as an amendment to the Constitution after FDR's reign declared no one could hold the Chief Executive Office for more than two terms (consecutively or otherwise).  Thus, it would be impossible for someone to assume the number 2 position having already held the number 1 for two terms.

Depends on the state.  It's set by the state constitution, but I believe most are 4 years.

They should ammend the constitution to allow him to run again in 2008.  If they can break the rules for FDR they can do it for GWB!

There are essentially two ways spelled out in the Constitution for how it can be amended. One has never been used.\n\nThe first method is for a bill to pass both halves of the legislature, by a two-thirds majority in each. Once the bill has passed both houses, it goes on to the states. This is the route taken by all current amendments. Because of some long outstanding amendments, such as the 27th, Congress will normally put a time limit (typically seven years) for the bill to be approved as an amendment (for example, see the 21st and 22nd).\n\nThe second method prescribed is for a Constitutional Convention to be called by two-thirds of the legislatures of the States, and for that Convention to propose one or more amendments. These amendments are then sent to the states to be approved by three-fourths of the legislatures or conventions. This route has never been taken, and there is discussion in political science circles about just how such a convention would be convened, and what kind of changes it would bring about.\n\nRegardless of which of the two proposal routes is taken, the amendment must be approved by three-fourths of states. The amendment as passed may specify whether the bill must be passed by the state legislatures or by a state convention. See the Ratification Convention Page for a discussion of the make up of a convention. Amendments are sent to the legislatures of the states by default. Only one amendment, the 21st, specified a convention. In any case, passage by the legislature or convention is by simple majority.\n\nIt is interesting to note that at no point does the President have a role in the formal amendment process (though he would be free to make his opinion known). He cannot veto an amendment proposal, nor a ratification. This point is clear in Article 5, and was reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in Hollingsworth v Virginia (3 USC 378 [1798]):

a constitutional ammendment.. very unprobable... \nthere are several ways to initiate the process for ammending the constitution, none of which are likely on this or any other issue.

No, he cannot. Any treaty must be approved by the Senate. And any change to this country's Constitution must be ratified by the people.\n\nThis ain't gonna happen.\n\nIs this even a real issue, or is it some bogeyman story?

Yes, but not in this next election.  Give her about another 4 years.

Darn tootin'  and  maybe that pesky amendment gets nullified and America turns to Geo W to lead them for another four years, wouldn't it be ironic if Geo W's one hard to dispute election would be for a third term in 2008?  History can turn on a year a month a week a day.    The second the new batch of Democrats get seated they'll be villified & trashed  by the well oiled Republican hate machine.\n\n(Must share my pet scenario - - Bush get 's 'incapacitated' on the same day Cheney has 'the big heart - - -,' then Pelosi becomes Prez within months of the 2008 campaign season.     That would be be a leap - - -   not that she won't be mentioned as a 'possible candidate' the next two years.)\n\nPeace...

The BK is right.  Under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, "The President, shall, at stated times receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected ..."\n\nClinton signed legislation in 1999 to double the salary to 400k.  But under that Article, it wouldn't take effect until the next term or Bush's 1st year.  Congress is the only one that can raise salaries.

I would like to see George W. Bush's brother Jeb Bush become the next President of the United States of America, that way Americans who complain about the current President Bush can deal with another four years of another President Bush.

No, as a former two term president he has already served 8 of the maximum 10 years that are allowed and if anything happened to President Hillary he could not fill out the term unless it is less than two years. In as much as it would be a four year term that would make it impossible.

It won't be during this presidency, Bush is too busy trying to distract Americans from his failed presidency by proposing asinine amendments banning gay marriage, remember his is the "decider", LOL. Hopefully when we get a democratic president in office in 2008, the environment and maintaning good public health (i.e. clean water, air, etc.) will once again rise to the top of the Gov'ts "to do" list versus burying it under the guise of an unjust war in the name of fighting terrorism, we'll see.
