When we (they) invade Iran guess what might happen... |

Public opinion polls can change during a fresh and more vicious war. Tyrants are also known to abolish elections, when a war is in progress. It won't be the first time a president served 3 terms either:
President Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) won an unprecedented 3rd term by beating Wendell Willkie (R)
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), 32nd President of the United States (1933-1945), is best known for leading the U.S. through the Great Depression with his New Deal programs, building a powerful political coalition -- the New Deal Coalition -- that dominated American politics for decades, a major leader in the military alliance that defeated Nazi Germany, Italy and the Empire of Japan in World War II, and led the U.S. into the creation of the United Nations.
We might need a leader for the GREATER Depression too, if these economic indicators don't change soon. Will any of this inspire America to break out the signs and protest?

1. That was before the 22nd amendment |

After FDR's third term, they amended the Constitution to limit the President to two terms.
So it's not at all the same as if Bush tried to grab a third term. It was legal back then.

I'm glad Dur Fuhrer has diligently followed the law of the land and kept his SWORN oath to "uphold the Constitution" or else we'd have to try the fuck-head as a TRAITOR under the UCMJ and give him the justice our military uses for cowards and traitors during war-time. Do you think a leapord can change its spots, htutte?
