22nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of AmericaSection. 1. 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.
Sec. 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.
Reading this I cannot find any reason why New York Senator Hilary Clinton (if chosen to be the Democratic candidate for the President of the United States) could not choose her husband Bill to be her Vice President. While it is highly unlikely, mostly because Bill would never take such a low profile job, it could happen.
I really don’t mind the idea of Bill being first lady of the United States. He is universally likeable, well mannered and with Al Gore at his side they care a lot about the environment (even if the North and South poles are getting colder and global warming is a hoax – look it up, do the math). Rush Limbaugh roughly said; “if she gets into office we would have to endure the effects of watching our President age over the next four years”, why not offset that with the dignity of an ex-President becoming more distinguished? He can warm our hearts with tales of sax playing, and fine cigars while Mrs. President takes care of things around the world. Maybe it is the world we live in today, the eventual shift from the man being head of the house – king of the castle – bringing home the bacon, to dual income families where both parents work – daycare raises the kids – TV takes over where daycare ends, now to the woman goes to work and the man staying at home watching soaps and eating bon-bon’s. cleaning, doing laundry, ironing, dishes, cooking, vacuuming, dusting and raising the children. No I am not going to turn this into a war of the sexes, nor will I be burning my jock anytime soon. It is not the woman aspect that I say away from in our Presidential candidate, I don’t care about race, gender or sexual orientation. Just as long as you think the way I do, agree with my opinion and do the things I want done. Isn’t that the same thing we look for in everyone? Sure we all say that having differing opinions makes things interesting but when it comes down to it, it is far less stressful – therefore we are happier. Isn’t that the ultimate goal for each of us? Being happy. But what does being happy mean? To me it is being debt free. Free from the shackles of credit card payments, free from worrying about the next mortgage payment. The last few years have really put a dent into our finances. Some things ARE more important than money (insert important things for yourself). If Bill does become First Lady of the United States and I am able to pay off all my debt then hey, I’m happy. I just hope I do not need to use the emergency room or any other medical issues arise. I might be better off finding a witch doctor somewhere in the rain forests. How are the rain forests doing these days? That was the big thing back in the early ‘90’s, Sean Connery and Lorraine Bracco ran around the rain forest looking for peek 92 or some odd number.
What was I talking about? Oh! 1992, Bill was the President then. Things were good I guess, if all we had to worry about was a far off jungle and bugs in our sugar dishes. I was much younger then too so I had very little to worry about.
I think I lost my train of thought again – Interruptions! So before I get into trouble I’ll stop here.
