No, he cannot.  A President, as far as anyone knows, CAN be Vice President after he serves two terms as President.  However, if the President would step down or die in office, the Vice President could NOT serve as President, since he has reached his Constitutional limit.

don't know! Maybe you should have this little conversation with Bush before his term is up.

Right now, absolutely nothing.  Bush himself signed away whistleblower protections in any executive agencies in the US government.  If they talk, they're in deep ship, end of story.  There is by law no more accountability in any government agency.  The 9th circuit has recently upheld the Bush law, so it does stand.

The answer to this one is YES, YES, YES AND YES......They should resign immediately.  They are totally incompetent. .Every time I watch Bush speak I am embarrassed that someone from another country will be watching him and say "man, is that the best they have"

There were rumors Cheney would resign after the midterms. Apparently, he isn't going to do that.\n\nI'm not surprised Bush supports Cheney and Rumsfeld. After all, they all agree on the same policy and he doesn't think they're doing an awful job.

The only place Bush will stand trial is in the court of public opinion. \n\nDon't worry, soon Congress will start senate and house investigations of the dealings of the white house during the past six years. Possible impeachment and removal will follow. He could stand trial for any accusations afterward unless given a pardon like Tricky Dick Nixon was given.

I am afraid that it will never be over. Bush is going to pull troups out of Iraq this year to help repuglicans get elected, but then they will be back someplace like Iran, or North Korea. 3 years and we get rid of the sob, unless he declares himself King for life, which in that case there will be a civil war right here.

He's stepping down, now because the republicans lost the midterms. With the democrats in power, there could be all kinds of investigations and hearings in regard to the Iraqi war. Rumsfield would probably still have a job if republicans had faired better in the elections. Although, if the Bush Admin was in fact planing to get rid of Rumsfield no matter what and he resigned two weeks ago as you suggest the media would have had 2 weeks of field days. With none stop debate and commentary about it, for example: "Are Republicans responding to poor poll numbers by forcing Rumsfield's resignation?" or "Obviously a last ditch effort to save the elections" or "Once praised by Pres Bush, Rumsfield resigns" "Rumsfield resigns, due to Iraq war miss-steps?"  and on on on. And all people hear is Republican, President Bush, poor handling of the war, poor poll numbers, Rumsfield resigning. Doesn't look good, even if you support the resignation. One must also consider the Pro-War Republican base that supported Rumsfield retaining his office. It's never a good idea to piss over the base of your party just two weeks before an election, especially if poll numbers are low and voter turn out is vital. \n\nHowever, in hindsight perhaps your right, considering the election results. HOw much worse could it have been for the Republicans?

Yes, he should resign, but don't worry... as soon as we have that election, his ass is grass.  Right now the election date may be April 22.  I intend to vote for anyone but him.  Word in the streets around New Orleans is he lost a majority of his votes with those statements he made.  Yeah, he's overworked and all, but he could at least pay attention to what he lets fall out of his mouth in public.

First, he didn't fire him, he resigned.\n\nWhy didn't that happen before the elections...  My guess would be the White House didn't want his resignation to effect the election.  Not that it did them a whole lot of good anyway.

"The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January".  So Noon, Eastern, on January 20th, 2009.

Eventually, yes.  \n\nAh but the problems they create before they leave office!!

Presidents don't get thrones, they work for the people who elected them like you and me. \n\nSure, a president can resign.  The president of the Philippines is elected for a six year term.  If the current president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, resigns then the vice president, (Manuel) Noli De Castro takes over the office of president.   \n\nThe president can only serve one term under the new (1987) Constitution.

It will take years to straighten out the mess that Bush has started, indeed the next president will have his or her work cut out for them. I think the only hope is to hold Bush in check until his term is up and the only way to do that is to elect democrats to the house and senate this november.

Only if Dick Cheney resigns first.
