Ärende: How to raise a panic
============================
Hello Roy,

 LL>> IOW, the phrase "elected ... more than twice" is reference to a
 LL>> particular president who serves one or two consecutive terms.

 RW>> George Washington and FDR...the latter served 4 terms, which is the
 RW>> reason for the 22nd amendment. Roosevelt wasn't very effect during
 RW>> his 3rd and 4th terms.

 LL>> Consecutive terms.  You got that right.  And so did Bill Clinton -

RW>Bill hasn't been right since the day he was born.

And Republicans claim they are against abortion.  What hypocrites!

 LL>> If that same person were to be elected to another term, he/she
 LL>> would be a different president.

 RW>> Wrong. That person would fit the description of 'elected' to a 1st
 RW>> and 2nd consecutive term...

 LL>> Dear boy,

RW>I'm not your boy, nigger.

Good god, I should hope not.

 LL>> you really should learn how to count.  FDR was one president, not
 LL>> four presidents.

RW>You should learn how to count, properly. FDR was one president who
RW>served, but not all of, 4 terms in office.

FDR was elected to four terms, but his term in office was for 12
consecutive years, from 1933 to 1945.  One president, not four.

 LL>> Grover Cleveland was two presidents, not one.

RW>The 22nd didn't apply to him,

Irrelevant.

RW>but had he served after such 22nd amendment, he couldn't serve a
RW>third.

Grover Cleveland served one term as the 22nd President,
but not a second term.

Grover Cleveland served one term as the 24th President,
but not a second term.

Even though there was no constitutional provision barring
either president from being elected to a consecutive term(s).

 LL>> Here is an example, which I thought I had made clear the first time

RW>When yuor mind is as clear as mud, there isn't anything that is
RW>clear.

Thank God for Everclear.

 LL>> Grover Cleveland, 22nd President of the United States, 1885-1889.
 LL>> Grover Cleveland, 24th President of the United States, 1893-1897.
 LL>> One person (Grover Cleveland), two elected presidents (22, 24).

RW>Read the amendment again...

What is it you fail to understand?

RW>your example doesn't fly with Cleveland either.

Grover Cleveland is dead.  So is the other Grover Cleveland.

 RW>> You're attempting to apply the 22nd Constitutioal amendment to a
 RW>> person who it wouldn't apply to. i.e. GC was President two times but
 RW>> much earlier than the 22nd amendment was passed by Congress in 1947
 RW>> and ratified by the states in 1951..

 LL>> Bill Clinton is the 42nd President of the United States.

RW>Oh, well in that case, he was elected to an 8 year term?

Bill Clinton's term in office included having been elected to two
consecutive terms.  The same is true of several other presidents,
such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Barack
Obama ...

 LL>> If elected in 2016, he would also be the 45th President of
 LL>> the United States.  See how that works?  One person, two
 LL>> presidents.

RW>Read the amendment again. Clear your mind of all the mud first.

Bill Clinton is a lawyer.  As such, he knows the true meaning
of the word "is".  So does Hillary, but she's keeping quiet.

 LL>> This also works with Jimmy Carter.  And George H.W. Bush.  And
 LL>> George W. Bush.  As for Barack Obama, he'll have to wait until he
 LL>> sits out a term before he can become another president.

RW>Wrong. Jimmy Carter and HW Bush could run again,

Of course they can.  They are both alive, aren't they?

RW>but W couldn't

Of course he can.  He's still alive.  Not that he'd win.
But he is still alive.

RW>as he has already served his two terms,

If elected to another term, it would be a new first term.
See how that works?

RW>nor will Hussein Obama ever be President again.

Not to worry.  President Clinton will appoint him to be a justice
on the US Supreme Court.  That will keep him happy, and quite busy.

I'm talking about Hillary, not Bill.  So don't get your hopes up.

 RW>> No Constitutional Amendments have ever been retroactive and
 RW>> the 22nd is no exception.

 LL>> We can pass an amendment to repeal the 22nd amendment,

RW>What's this 'we' BS, do you have a mouse in your pocket?

Me and Hillary.  We are channelling.  My thoughts are her thoughts,
and her thoughts are my thoughts ...

 LL>> just like we passed an amendment (21st) to repeal the 18th amendment
 LL>> (prohibition).  In fact, legislation has been introduced in
 LL>> the house to do just that ...

RW>By whom?

US Rep. Sherrod, I think.  He brings it up every few years.  Hasn't
gotten past committee yet, but one day it will.  Just give him a few
more tries ...

RW>What fool would want to bring back prohibition?

US Senator Rand Paul?  Or US Representative Paul Ryan?

 RW>> More Lofaso moronic rambling deleted because of the deceptive
 RW>> writing by the author.

RW>Repeated for your clarity...

Rubbing eyes.

RW>           R\%/itt

Looks like somebody is holding a bubbly drink ...
