Qestion for some of you Constitutional scholars

I think its more the idea of thinking I bet obummer would try to do this with everything he has done than he really will or something like that

Let's just say they see it as more possible (not likely) than I do. They wouldn't put it past Obama, I don't think even he's that stupid.

Honestly, I think everyone should be far more concerned with Hillary running in 2016 and the middle of the road, Milquetoast useless RINO that will run against her and secure her Presidency than the specter of Obama securing a third term.

I don't even think Obama wants a third term. He's a player in the Democratic Party, he's done his two terms and put in place the things he put into place. It's the next person's job to put the next things in place, doesn't matter who actually does it. This is one areas where the Democrats shine, they pretty much all agree on stated goals and how to implement them. It really doesn't matter "which" Democrat is in office, only that a Democrat who is part of the plan is in office.

The Republicans will never get their shit together on such a cohesive level. There is too much factionism among those who call themselves conservatives and too many divergent agendas. More importantly, the stated values of traditional conservative voters translate to smaller government with less direct power over it's citizens and that is contradictory to the desires of government itself, even when run by Republicans.

It's a lot like asking a bank President to devote himself to banks earning less money and passing the savings on to bank customers.

Fair enough.
