Bill Clinton in The White House in 2005?
Jim Sojoodi, a good friend, and a liberal Stanford 2L sends me this email
Here's the dream scenario: Kerry picks Bill Clinton for VP, Kerry steps down after the inauguration, Clinton takes over and appoints Hillary as VP, Hillary then runs in '08 with Bill as VP. I think we could keep this up until Chelsea's ready to take over.
Notice the wording: It only states that nobody can be elected more than twice.
Amendment XXII
Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.
