Bush-Cheney in 2008?

This little exercise in paranoia has kept me up more than once.

Bush-Cheney in 2008.


The easy part is Dick Cheney.

The President can only serve two terms.

A never-discussed fact is that the Vice President can serve as many terms as he can.

Ladies and Gentlemen --- Your 22nd Amendment:

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term. "


The hard part is seeing how Jeb Bush can get the nomination when his brother is so unpopular, and where Jeb hasn't really started yet. This is, to me, the true agenda behind the U.S. Attorney firings. The easier it is to steal elections in key states, or to use the power of the U.S. Attorney to suppress voter turnout in urban areas, the more likely it is that Jeb Bush will find the ground suitable to run on.
More on that at another time.
