President Bush and the War.?

Question

Is it true that G. Bush can keep a new President from takeing over as long as we are at war?

Answer 1

No. We had several transitions during Vietnam.

I don't think Bush wants to be President anymore.

Answer 2

Would he not be the only informed person that would not now where to go to or subjugation's on what to do ????

To ask the right questions would be hard to solve to keep another out of the U.S. ,, but to have a lonely person to  be a ''' beak en ''' to what is going on than what he would do as he could understand what a child understood ?

Answer 3

No.

That is a crazy left wing conspiracy theory.

Answer 4

No. It's nonsense perpetrated by conspiracy idiots.

Answer 5

No, each president has a four year term.  He can be re elected by the people, but after those two terms are over he's out of there.  There's no way he can stay.

:D

Answer 6

Not exactly.  If a catastrophic emergency, such as an invasion took place in the US, and it were not possible to hold elections, then yes the president can stay in power, but only until the crisis is averted.

It has to be impossible for life to continue normally in order for that to happen, a very low probability event.

Answer 7

I heard that in a time of war a president can stay in office if he is elected again...like for a third term.  It would be interesting if he did run again to see how many people would vote for him...my guess is around 10 percent.

Answer 8

Yes.

This is old news - this was made possible by the legislation forced through by bush on May 9, 2007.

See?

See how easy it is to establish a dictatorship when the citizens cannot be "bothered" to read a newspaper?

************************************

"New legislation signed on May 9, 2007, declares that in the event of a "catastrophic event", the President can take total control over the government and the country, bypassing all other levels of government at the state, federal, local, territorial and tribal levels, and thus ensuring total unprecedented dictatorial power.

The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, which also places the Secretary of Homeland Security in charge of domestic "security", was signed earlier this month without the approval or oversight of Congress and seemingly supercedes the National Emergency Act which allows the president to declare a national emergency but also requires that Congress have the authority to "modify, rescind, or render dormant" such emergency authority if it believes the president has acted inappropriately.

Journalist Jerome Corsi, who has studied the directive also states that it makes no reference to Congress and "its language appears to negate any requirement that the president submit to Congress a determination that a national emergency exists."

Answer 9

Not true/i don't think this war same as VietNam and Korea have been declared.It is juat a pastime for Bush and Chaney

Answer 10

I don't know, but luckily we are not officially at war.  Congress must pass a Declaration of War first, and they haven't done that since 1941.

Answer 11

No.  He has a limit of 8 years in office.  That's all.  Thank goodness.

Answer 12

'Dancing' is right, except it's not -legislation-,  meaning it's not a law that was approved by Congress, it is only an executive order issued unilaterally by Bush himself..  Bush has simply declared that he has the power to take over our entire government in the case of an 'emergency' and he's the one who gets to decide what constitutes an 'emergency'.  This includes not only taking over the roles of Congress and the Supreme Court but also taking control of the nation's media!

There has been speculation that he plans to do this if Obama wins the election, or if the Democrats are way ahead as the election approaches.  He might invade Iran and then decide to postpone the election indefinitely.

Personally I don't think he'd be able to get away with it.  But I'm shocked and surprised to see all the stuff he's gotten away with already!

Answer 13

of course not  

Read the constitution
