The Election

[Predabot]

*( can't be re-elected since he's already served two terms, but you know, if there was a change in the constitution that would allow it, or some such)

False, the law only states that you can't be elected to 3 consecutive terms.

Mwhahahaha

Actually, the United States Constitution states nothing of the kind. It does, however state that no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice. There is no "consecutively" omitted to the previous sentence, so there is no ambiguity over whether a third term is allowed if separate from the previous two. There is no third term allowed. Period.

Saying that, however, if a person becomes President without being elected to that office (i.e. through line of succession), and has served less than two years in office prior to the end of that term, they are still eligible for two full terms in office, making a potential maximum time in office of just under 10 years.

I actually checked this on teh Wiki before I posted, since I thought you could be governor many times, but apparently it was just like the ol' Presidential post.

Clearly I am mistaken. My bad.

I don't remember where I got that from
