Must Have Gift For George Bush Haters

and I really don't remotely know how you can think you know what George Bush cares about. Unless of course you two happen to be buddies.

He can extend his stay if there's a national crisis, like WW3.

That's why Franklyn Roosevelt stayed in power for 12 yrs.

No, FDR stayed in power for 12 years because the two-term limit was only introduced in the 22nd Amendment, passed 6 years after he died and 6 years after he served his fourth term

He could only serve a third term if Congress repeals the 22nd amendment, which isn't going to happen any time soon.

100 quid says Bush will get a 3rd term. They are already trying to repeal the 22nd amendment.

Here's a bill submitted to the house in Feb.

I'll take that bet without a second thought :)

FYI, over 10,000 amendments have been proposed to the US Constitution since 1789, and a massive 28 have been accepted, and of those only a single one has been repealed - and that was arguably the least thought-out amendment ever, the 18th (the prohibition of alcohol). The one you posted has only reached the committee stage, the point where every single one of the other 200 amendments proposed each year dies a silent death. I'm pretty sure there are a at least a couple of attempts to repeal the 22nd amendment every Congressional session, and nothing ever happens.

See, Bush isn't as un-intelligent as people make out. That's why him and Blair have been trying to goad Iran into a war, he wants a longer stay in office :D.
 
Hey if Princess Tony can try and get around the need for Parliament, as he is now, to pass his laws, then I'm sure Bush can do what he pleases too in order to get re-elected.
 
got one of thouse for my housemate as he totally hates bush and is refusing to go to america till hes out, turned up the other day :) tis pretty plasticy but very amuzing none the less. Looks like its a company that does countdown timers and lets people rebrand them.
