After this botched election, I don't know what to believe.

I know what I believe, and that is we will never see another republican in the White House. The left has so much power and control they will never give it up. They are flagrant and open about it. They know us on the right are too gutless to stand up to them.

I don't remember bill clinton resigning . I remember Nixon resigning.

Clinton didn’t resign. Nixon did.

Yes resign is maybe the wrong term but it IS what he did the day before his term ended. Cut a deal and agreed to give up his law license to get the charges dropped is probably more correct. Didn;t matter anyway the clock was up. Good ole Slick Wille.

I think they are all in it together. They are just playing "Good cop, Bad cop.

What’s your source for this? Here’s what I found - he didn’t give up his license to practice law; only his right to practice before U. S. Supreme Court. And it had nothing to do with his presidency.

He gave up his law license to practice law in AR and was disbarred. You believe what you want to believe. I am not here to argue with you and I am definitely not interested in your web prowess on what you found or read on the internet. The last time I checked I am not required to provide you ANYTHING. I'm out of this thread, have at it.

You are right as it reads in the 25 currently. A Constitutional scholar named Mattox was the one that brought this up. He argued that if a Presidents term is has been sufficiently impeded then he should be allowed a new first term. He was basing all this on there currently is no impediment to frivilous impeachments.

No one has ever tried to challenge it so far. The only one that could have done so so far was Bill Clinton. He was impeached while in office on his second term and resigned and later the charges were dropped. But he never tried. The reason it reads as it does right now was because of past Presidents and has been changed multiple times. Don't think it can't be changed again. These goons make it up as they go along as they see fit.

I think this would still get squashed quickly since the 22nd also goes on to limit total years in office to 10

I’m just interested in the facts, which is why I asked about your source - and you’re more accurate than I was; my apologies! He did give up his Arkansas law license on his last day, but it was suspended for five years - he was not disbarred. He became eligible to reapply for it in 2006, but I’ve not found if he did or not.

Exactly right. Clinton was never formally disbarred. He resigned from the U. S. Supreme Court Bar and his Arkansas law license was merely suspended.
