Jimmy Carter, George Bush Senior and Trump only served four years.
because they weren't re-elected tehy didn't walk away last presdient to do that was Lyndon Johnson do you think Biden will walk away? would you be happy if he ran again? |
|
By:
I answered this earlier. It's for the American people to decide who to elect. Presidents don't automatically serve two terms.
|
|
By:
Wheter someone would be happy for Biden to serve another time surely cannot be answered now. We aren't total cultists. Things like the competition, the first term and the candidate's health (and health prospects) at the time of the vote have to be taken into account.
|
|
By:
Jfk did less than one term, the next guy didn't do 8 years either.
|
|
By:
*to serve another term surely...
|
|
By:
but what do you think?
would you be happy with Biden aged 82-86 in a second term? because that's probably what America will get |
|
By:
The goppers might have a candidate we prefer to
a bloke that talks about hairy legs, or maybe he will talk about hairy legs too. |
|
By:
If Biden shows during the next four years that the drugs he must've popped like candy to smash Trump during the debates work long-term without a detrimental effect, then at least the mental side shouldn't be too much of a worry.
|
|
By:
Too early now to know how we will think
in 4 more years time about an election in a far off land |
|
By:
Horrible hairy leg anecdotes that continue to rob your sleep aside, Giuseppe.

Lyndon Johnson was then last president who decided not to seek re-election not sure who the example before that was maybe Teddy Roosevelt |

"We aren't total cultists. Things like the competition, the first term and the candidate's health (and health prospects) at the time of the vote have to be taken into account."
but that's my point Biden's health WASN'T taken into account this time around it was barely mentioned at all |
|
By:
Was it really not?
|
|
By:
'cuz I kept hearing how it's in doubt he'll even survive until the end of his term.
|
|
By:
We will be betting on it soon, don't want to mark
the card of joey come lately before laying a few more mugs |

By:
How do you know, you only watched two channels, didn't study polls or watch the Democratic Convention as you have proved (so far).

Roosevelt could have stood as in 1908 but chose not to i think this was the ;last time an incumbent president did not seek re-election |
|
By:
apart from johnson in 1968
|
|
By:
and boy, the Trump campaign and selected cultists on here would never stop telling us how completely senile the guy was. How Jill should give Biden a big, gentle hug and tell him she won't force him to run for president anymore if all he wants in reality is sit in his rocking chair while looking at her hairy legs.
|
|
By:
there used to be a convention (not an actual rule) that no president would serve more than twice
FDR was first to break it |
|
By:
Theodore Roosevelt 1901-1909
Franklin Roosevelt 1933-death in 1945 |
|
By:
Perhaps the second world war was relevant?
|
|
By:
not sure what point you're making ythl
(teddy roosevelt first term he started as VP btw, he became president after mckinley was assassinated) |
|
By:
"Perhaps the second world war was relevant?"
in 1940? |
|
By:
teddy roosevelt was allowed (under the informal convention) to run again in 1908 as his first term wasn't a full term
|
|
By:
or 1941 even
|
|
By:
the election was in 1940?
|
|
By:
anyway my point is it would be very unusual for Biden not to run in 2024
|
|
By:
Ah, FDR started his first term in 1932 not 1933.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
us elections have been remarkably consistent over history
4 year intervals, election in november, take office in january |
|
By:
Has Biden ever ran in 2024 before?
Where is your link to this data? |
|
By:
fuq me, last two pages devoted to opposing teams claiming the other's candidate is senile.
has it not occurred to you that both candidates are unsuitable for a multitude of reasons, including but not limited to age and compis mentus you lot can't see the wood for the trees |
|
By:
I think it's generally accepted, apart from total Trump cultists, that both Biden and Trump are utterly senile wrecks.
|
|
By:
both Biden's health and his hairy legs have been fully covered in this election
|
|
By:
On the subject of Trump's true standing in US political history this article sums it up prfectly ...
