Then comes the truely impossible part of this whole silly idea, convincing the American people to go along.
Oh but he'd use UN troops or somesuch nonsence. So what, in case many here haven't noticed, most Americans don't have a whole lot of backdown in them.
In closing I'd like to add. Not a prayer of it ever happening. With Bush or otherwise.

I would really love to understand how anyone here could think a two term president of whatever political bent could get away with taking dictatorial control of the country by arbitraily abolishing the 22nd amendment to the constitution.
Remember that the military all take oaths that require them to protect (I am paraphrasing here, so bear with me) and defend the constitution, and country against ALL enemies foriegn and domestic. A president doing this would immeadiately qualify as such. All the military personel that I know, both current and past would never, ever stand for it. They would be well within their rights to refuse any orders originating from such a would be despot.
Soldiers are first and foremost citizens of this country. The guardians of freedom, etc..., not robots who are answerable to their programming.
Not to mention what the civilian response would be, myself amongst them.
Large scale protest to dwarf anything during the Vietnam War.
Now for the bust, how can you say when Mr. Bush will leave office until he does? Easier to do it after the fact, than before it in case something untoward happens.

Bush as our president FOREVER?
We could only hope!
Show me someone else that will take the terrorism battle to the enemy.
Clinton, didn't
Cheney, no
Gore, don't get me started
Fiengold, no
Kerry, what a joke
It is sad but true that come the next election our beloved GWB will not be able to run again. ( The entire world needs to pay special attention to this special man and learn a thing or two )
The only hope we have of continuing our reign of power and military superiority is that we elect Jeb Bush and let his big brother and George SR run things from behind the scenes.
Oh what a glorious time that will be for us all, as a nation and a world!

I've known many soldiers, past and present, and not ONE of them would go along with a nationwide martial law inactment. What's more, they'd probably be in the forfront of the protest against one.
