    No I have read about this in law blogs. The main purpose of the VP is to take over for the President if he is incapacitated. If he can't do that, then he can't be VP. And Obama could not do that.

        How did I know, at a glance that this was the BB?
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          I know there's a legal debate over it but I think it would be risky to run him knowing legal complications could follow.

          I was glad that when John McCain ran in 2008, both sides more or less agreed that his eligibility to run shouldn't be questioned from the beginning, because that could have been ugly.

            As you wish. My final response then is this. As long as you take offense at statements like that, rather than trying to understand the real issues behind why I said it, you will, albeit against your will, be more a part of the problem than a part of the solution. It is thinking like that expressed in the previous post that feeds and perpetuates the problem

            My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

            If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

            This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                Lyndon Johnson assumed Kennedy's term, which was a little over a year. He ran in 1964 and won a full term, and he was expected to run in 1968 for a full second term.

                It appears the rule is that they can't run for president more than twice. Otherwise Johnson didn't need to bow out in 1968 because he was never eligible.

                ETA: Never mind. Johnson didn't fill out 2 years of Kennedy's term, which made him eligible in 1968.

                      I guess all that talk about democracy and freedom and the constitution, was all just a front wasn't it? What you really want is a strong male leader, and a strong government in power, sending strong men to make sure things are "done a certain way".

                          Yes, when young strong men are beating an older woman I want them punished... Don't you? If that was my mother I would have shot them. Perfectly Constitutional...

                            I gave a video where an army of the national guard marched down the city and shouted "Light em' up", before firing rubber bullets at people who were standing peacefully on their own porch.

                            And a group of police officers beating down old ladies, sitting quietly with cardboard signs.

                            I'm surprised you wanna give up your liberties so easily seer. You're supposed to be the conservative here, not me.

                              What is your point? Two wrongs don't make a right. If that was my mother I would have shot them. Perfectly Constitutional...

                                Why do liberals always object to one stating the facts? You guys falsely accuse us of "making excuses" or "blaming the victim" when all we're doing is looking at the complete picture. Come on, man, you claim you're interested in the truth, but in reality, you're only interested in those truths that support your agenda and toss out everything else. You're a fraud, ox.
