According to the present constitutional laws, can a woman be elected president for the next term?

That's actually an interesting question.  There was nothing that actually prohibited women from voting in the constitution, yet it still took an amendment to actually get the right to vote for women.  However, the difference here is that someone would have to challenge the validity of a female candidate based on constitutionality.  And I don't think any one would be stupid enough to try that now.  And since a woman has already run for vice-president in the past, I don't think there would be any issues raised.

appointed! (B - sorta ... but it's not just that easy)\n\nArticle II, section 1, clause 6 of the Constitution, the ''Succession Clause,'' specifies that in the event of simultaneous vacancies in the presidency and the vice presidency, or the simultaneous ''inability'' of those officers to act, Congress may by law specify what ''Officer'' shall ''act as President until the disability be removed or a President shall be elected.'' If a statutory successor is serving as acting President, Congress may, but is not required to, call a new presidential election.

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.

I say a women WILL BE PRESIDENT soon.\nI've got a feeling that the US as a whole is ready for a change and one that is more dramatic then just switching parties. DEM or REP but rather Men to Women.\n\nBy the way I love women (my wife is one) \nGO WOMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill Clinton is not eligible because the twenty-second amendment  to the US Constitution limits the President to two terms.  He is barred from the VP spot, because he could not ascend to the Presidency if that were necessary.

Yes.\n\nThe text of the current law is: "If, by reason of death, resignation, removal from office, inability, or failure to qualify, there is neither a President nor Vice President to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, upon his resignation as Speaker and as Representative in Congress, act as President...."

We already had a woman president, Hillary. lol\nMickey Mouse could win the presidency next term on the Democratic ticket after these last few years with W.\nIf a woman becomes president, what do they call her husband? The first gentleman?\nIt's not a matter of "should a woman be president." It's not important that we elect a woman, so that we can finally say we did it. What needs to happen is to elect the most effective leader, whether it is a man or a woman. That's not so easy to do. Usually, instead of a leader, we get a politician. A politician is someone who cuts deals, trades influence, and always if it will benefit him or her. That makes politicians self-serving. A leader is someone who does the right thing for the country, whether it is good for him or her personally or not. We haven't had one of those in a long time. Harry Truman 60 years ago. Or maybe John Kennedy 45 years ago. \n\n\nThere are several women out there right now with the nads to be president. Many other nations have female heads of state so why no the U.S.? One way to look at it is being a good mother. To do this you have to be a good leader requiring strength, making tough decisions even if those you lead (your kids) hate you for a while, being flexible with what new information comes your way, and so forth. \nNot saying a president has to be a mom, just saying women have the ability and strength of character to do the job.\n\nThanks for a great question.

Uh, no- Bush was elected for his second 4 year term.  Bush will be forced out of office by law in 2 more years.  A person can only be president 2 times, then they're banned for life by federal law

Absolutely, not only it is possible but very likely.Be ready  for the next election process where Sen. Hillary Rodhman Clinton may be facing Condolece Rice. A little more than half the population are women.

I pray that one day there is a female president.  I also pray that she is an independent.  With this type of president many of Americas problems will be fixed.

Yes, I honestly do believe there will be a woman president.  Not because she's a woman though, and not because she may or may not be riding on the coattails of her husband the former president.  It's really inevitable.  And the people that reference countries like England, it doesn't really compare, 1. because they're used to a ruling woman with the monarchy and 2. we're a relatively young country compared to European ones.  Not that that's an excuse, but the country obviously hasn't been ready for it!  Also, no women have stepped up to run!  The closest we've gotten was Geraldine Ferraro, and she was running with that imbecile Mondale!  I hope people don't vote for a woman just because she's a woman and I hope that a "block" as one answerer mentioned does not result in an election of a specific type of individual.  A woman will win when she has the principles and values that the majority of Americans will vote for and she actually RUNS for President!!  PS - I am a woman, and would like to see it, but I wont vote for one just because of that!

I am 60 and I hope that Hillary Clinton will be the next president, she is a intelligent strong woman that is not afraid to stand up for what is right for the people. She would have an asset of her husband the last legally elected president and also the most successful at running the business of the country.

We need a President that won't bullsh*t, mislead, or disregard the constitutional rights of the people.  Is doesn't matter what sex or race or religion they happen to be.  I can't think of any good candidates to suggest - male or female but I added a link that might help settle the debate between your Uncles. It is the website of THE CENTER FOR AMERICAN WOMEN AND POLITICS.
