no. There was no offical law until the 40's. Roosevelt, the greatest president since 1865, ran for 4 terms, and won all of them because we were at war during WWII. He broke a long tradition of only 2 terms, as most presidents retired after 2 terms because George Washington said that no man should not serve any more terms. After Roosevelt's death in 1945, they made it law that you only get 2 terms of your own. So since, say, LBJ served a term because of JFK's death, he could run for his own two terms after that. He ran for one, and in 1968 he didn't run again because he feared he'd lose because the Vietnam War. So unless Clinton is the VP, and the president is killed, he cannot be president again. This is why he didn't run in 2000, or he would have easily defeated Bush that year.
Hilary will run, I doubt she'll win, the Dems need to put there money on Obama, his a winner.

Respondents favored Clinton by greater than 2-to-1 margins when asked who did a better job at handling the economy (63 percent Clinton, 26 percent Bush) and solving the problems of ordinary Americans (62 percent Clinton, 25 percent Bush).
On foreign affairs, the margin was 56 percent to 32 percent in Clinton's favor; on taxes, it was 51 percent to 35 percent for Clinton; and on handling natural disasters, it was 51 percent to 30 percent, also favoring Clinton.
Moreover, 59 percent said Bush has done more to divide the country, while only 27 percent said Clinton had.

Have you ever done anything meaningful with your life? This is a discussion forum. The one ranting is you. I read a lot of news and occasionally post the politically entertaining or relevant stories here. All I'm doing is ctrl+c. Get over it.
