When Bush loses, can he run again since he was only President for 1 term?

[lizzieforkerry]

I just can't take anymore of him EVER and want to make sure he will never be our president again!

edit- changed my if to when- sorry!

[Hosnon]

1. Yes

[Hubert Flottz]

2. No War Criminals can't run!

Edit} I don't think!

[Dookus]

3. Yup

but it won't happen. After he loses, America is done with the Bushes.

[L84TEA]

4. oh heck...prolly soo...Them Bushies make up their own rules!

But only suppose to be 2 terms...

[Orangepeel]

5. Un huh. Grover Cleveland did it.

So did Teddy Roosevelt, except he lost the second time.

[TwilightZone]

6. Yes. One president did that.

Grover Cleveland.

[Elidor]

7. He could, but the GOP won't fish a loser out of the trash

[Endangered Specie]

8. Its been done before (Cleveland).

[DrZeeLit]

9. Why would he want to? He really is sooooo done! Toasted. Stick...

...a fork in him time.

Nah, he's old news.
And quite frankly, I think he's gonna be glad to be out of all the
HARD WORK!!!!

10. William Jennings Bryan ran and lost 3 times (won nomination).

It seems in the modern era, if you lose, you're done. It's such a big money, big business ordeal... very different from the old days.

No reason Bush Sr., Carter, Ford couldn't have run again, by law. But they are considered "spoiled goods" once they have run and lost, rejected by the electorate. And same for shrubbie.

16. The last sitting President to lose and then run again

was Grover Cleveland, IIRC. Of course, he won the popular vote all three times he ran.

[scheming daemons]

11. Sure...

he can be like Larouche and run from prison.

Kind of hard to manage a campaign from the Hague, though..

[Poiuyt]

12. History will not be kind to Bush

I think the BFEE will end tomorrow. (At least as far as national politics goes)

[kayell]

13. Yes, but since felons have a hard time getting elected, I wouldn't worry

[elperromagico]

14. Two terms max; 10 years max if you serve out half

of another President's unexpired term.

But if Bush is regarded as a dead weight by the GOP, I doubt he could get the nomination again. Of course, if we have another split decision (popular vote winner is electoral vote loser), he could seem appealing.

God, I don't want to think about this. Let's just get him out first. We can worry about him trying to get back in later.

[Cha]

15. bush Is going to lose!

Check out the Kerry rally on c-span!

[seaj11]

17. Don't worry.

After Kerry takes office, Americans will realize that Bush duped them AND screwed up their country. They will never forgive him for that.

[Lefty48197]

18. We have got to talk this up!

We must work OVERTIME after the election to plant the seed in the soil inside the heads of Republicans, that GEORGE W. BUSH MUST run for a second term in 2008, in order to restore the honor of him family and political party. I'm sure they'll fall for it. They did the first time he ran.

[txindy]

19. Yes, but he'll be behind bars or under indictment

:evilgrin:

[Rebellious Republican]

20. I can not resist.... "He can run but he can not hide" N/T

[fishwax]

24. thanks, that was good

:D

[klook]

21. Well, he's never been elected

so I guess he can serve two legitimate terms if he actually gets elected and not appointed.

Just kidding!

He could do one more term, but as others have stated, he's spoiled meat at this point. I'm sure he'll have a distinguished post-presidential career like Jimmy Carter.

God, what a disgusting thought! Can you imagine the Dubya Center? What great causes would it get involved in??

[Awsi Dooger]

22. A party would never nominate someone who could only serve one term

Not anymore.

[gordianot]

23. He'll need to run from the law.
