From Anonymous Posts: BUSH FOR A 3RD TERM???

Hmmm how about this little 2nd amendment, how has this one held up, supposedly a right that shall not be infringed upon:

Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Ordo ab chao?

The government has been trying like the dickens to do away with the right to carry firearms and so far they haven't gotten away with it.

I notice like when this happened in VA with the students etc. the first thing I heard was doing away with firearms hmmmmm Maybe we have another conspiracy brewing here.

I'm thinking about dieting so I'll will be able to bend over and kiss me arsh bye-bye.

This thread is full of nothing but ignorance. Even if the entire United States Of America was nuked and there was only 1 city left and the population of the United States went from 300,000,000+ down to 100 president bush could NOT be re-elected for a 3rd term!

People need to learn the FACTS before they post utter nonsense.

Two words: Patriot Act

There is nothing in the patriot act that states a president run for a 3rd term. Move along.

It wouldnt matter if he was in office for a third term.... the same shadow government controls everyone in office, so its gonna be the same crap whoever is selected to take over bush's position.

Its not that he can be re-elected for a 3rd term BUT that he can REMAIN as president IF martial law is in place..for whatever reason...

Martial Law can only be imposed if/when passed by BOTH the House and the Senate. Considering that Democrats make up the majority of both, this will not happen while we have a Republican President.

If we have a Nuke, a natural disaster, or an Alien invasion, the House Speaker will become President before Bush or Cheney (come January 1st, 2009).

uhhh correct me if im wrong, but didnt bush change this???

he can now call martial law if "he" chooses to.

Article 1, Section 9 states, "The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." Habeas corpus is a concept of law, in which a person may not be held by the government without a valid reason for being held. A writ of habeas corpus can be issued by a court upon a government agency (such as a police force or the military). Such a writ compels the agency to produce the individual to the court, and to convince the court that the person is being reasonably held. The suspension of habeas corpus allows an agency to hold a person without a charge. Suspension of habeas corpus is often equated with martial law.

Because of this connection of the two concepts, it is often argued that only Congress can declare martial law, because Congress alone is granted the power to suspend the writ. The President, however, is commander-in-chief of the military, and it has been argued that the President can take it upon himself to declare martial law. In these times, Congress may decide not to act, effectively accepting martial law by failing to stop it; Congress may agree to the declaration, putting the official stamp of approval on the declaration; or it can reject the President's imposition of martial law, which could set up a power struggle between the Congress and the Executive that only the Judiciary would be able to resolve.

In the United States, there is precedent for martial law. Several times in the course of our history, martial law of varying degrees has been declared. The most obvious and often-cited example was when President Lincoln declared martial law during the Civil War. This instance provides us with most of the rules for martial law that we would use today, should the need arise.

As always, a few moments with Google will answer most questions. Martial Law has been declared before, most recently in 2005 (New Orleans)... But as usual, it's a Democrat that imposes it.

I guess the the bottom line to this is that George Bush can do or say whatever he wants, and can certainly by proclamation "declare martial law," but without an orderly system of support by the legislative and judicial branches; by extension the armed forces (including the guard and reserve that also answer to the respective state governors), and law enforcement... Then ultimately the population at large. Is anyone seeing where this is going? George Bush could say want he (you) wants, it doesn't make it true, nor does it means that there's a snowball's chance in Hell of it happening.

If conspiracies are true....

Then President Bush is no more than a little puppet on a string, like the others. Sure, he and his daddy may be 'higher in the food chain' or whatever..... but a 3rd term in office will never be needed.

If there is a dark lord (seems people like to use star wars terms in defining the conspiracy), he will not be on the stage. He has never been seen, and even if he has not as anything more but a simpleton with connections.

Not only would this demotivate many conspiritors, also all connections to a conspiracy are harder to find and thus harder to believe.

What is Hillary Clinton wins the elections? I for one would say that's a given and so would be another rigged election anyway.
Bush after she's in office and "another 9/11 or worse" happens, she looks like a victim just as anyone else.

After all, last time something like this happened the republic was in charge of the senate and evil Oil Bush was running the show.
