The Obama era is done

[HankD]

I don't think we have heard the end of him.

The press may give him a voice unless they come to their senses.

But in any case it will be the same old stuff and folks will ultimately get tired of it and ignore him.

You never know though he might come up with some new and unexpected thing.

He is very intelligent.

Still TWENTY days to go - until Noon .......

YA, and it's gonna seem A LOT LONGER.

No doubt he will wear out the bully pulpit running Trump into the ground and causing more international messes for Trump to mop up.

Obama will not go away. That is acknowledged. But he must be brought up for charges.

Worse than you think. With no other viable democrats, I'm pretty sure they'll offer him up for president again in 4 years....

You can't offer up a dead or imprisoned person for any office. Also, no one can serve more than eight years as President.

Grover Cleveland served two separate terms though. His first term was 1885-1889. His second was from 1893-1897.

Actually, you could serve 9 years, 11 months and 29 days.

Cleveland,along with any POTUS of Truman and before had no restriction on the number of terms. Washington had a self-imposed limit of two terms - and all followed that tradition until FDR - because Roosevelt stressed both his proven leadership experience and his intention to do everything possible to keep the United States out of war. In one of his speeches he declared to potential recruits that "you boys are not going to be sent into any foreign war."[219] From Wiki

You are speaking of LBJ. Yes, if he had run and served from 69 to 73 he would have been in office that long. But I am speaking of the normal situation with no deaths or things like that coming into play. I am thinking of G. Ford. He stepped in when Nixon stepped out.

The 22nd amendment was passed in in 1947 and ratified in 1951 preventing any President from serving more than two terms in the conventional manner.

I'm sure we haven't. On numerous occasions, he has shown himself to be a no class individual.

He's going to be a constant thorn in the side of Donald Trump. He just can't let go and step aside. In his mind, he and his "legacy" are far too important.

It's all about him. Nobody else matters.
