Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.


Emphasis mine.

Hmmmmm.....

I would like to see him close Guantanamo, bring the drones into a proper legal framework, tell the feds to lay off medical marijuana, amnesty non-violent drug offenders, and come out forcefully against capital punishment, commuting all federal death sentences to life without parole.

When Obama is caught doing something bad (example, spying on Americans), it is argued that the problem is not a big deal because Obama will no longer participate in an election.
