The presidential term obviously a trick question. otherwise an easy test. Everyone should get no more than 2 wrong.

Hello again samrigel,
I have reviewed your comments thus far and at this point I wish to encourage you to keep at it. You may reach the necessary threshold to have greater visibility and functionality before you know it! :)
Like John Galt watching the producers still struggling, I will be watching.
Respectfully,
O.A.

like AJ, I was almost almost fooled by the VP question. but I went with my gut instead

Thanks for the kind words O.A. I was merely lamenting that my comment was hidden and whenever I attempt to "thumbs up" a comment I am reminded that I am "Restricted". I love the forum here and read and comment whenever I can. Thanks samrigel

Good thing that BO can't renew his policy in 2016. I'd like to see the court jester run if only for the entertainment value.

Missed one. Ten years? Nobody tell King Obola!

Well, FDR would really be easy to see RED over, wouldn't you say?

Same here. Most of the others were pretty easy.

Hello samrigel,
???? Who could you have offended with the above comment???
So far as I can tell (and I am pretty regular) you are doing fine.
Please comment as you desire. We have many here that can only drop by from time to time and many that check in daily. All that are respectful are welcome in my book.
Respectfully,
O.A.

I will comment no more. Sorry if I have offended because I don't have the time to sit and comment. Which makes my "point scoring" low and therefore my relevance low as well!

I suspect that's why the answers only included one choice between the choice for 2 terms (8) and 3 terms(12.)

I took extra time to think about it since I read your reply before taking the test. :) How could khalling get it wrong, I thought... Otherwise I may have answered the same. Thank's for the assist!

ah. you are correct. the exact wording states:

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.

I am a Sentinel of Justice, however, did not know about the extra two years of the President. I will study harder!

In the current administration, the VP serves as life insurance and court jester.

I don't think the VP could run for the second time.

Was a little disappointed in the Blaze's editorializing on the First Amendment, suggesting that its importance is what caused it to be named "First"... it was actually the third proposed amendment - the first two weren't ratified.

But, who's counting.

Most of us do. Ever since they changed the rule about who gets to be VP, the post has been basically meaningless.

That's the only one I missed. I knew that they could be elected twice plus serve part of an unelected term but wasn't sure how much of the unelected term they could serve.

Interestingly though. This means that if a president were sworn in and died the next day. And his VP took over. The VP could still run 2x and be elected 2x but would have to resign halfway through the 2nd elected term. That would be an interesting situation.

My pop-up blocker told me I needed to allow pop-ups in order to see the quiz, and then it showed me the quiz, so all I had to do was to take the quiz.

I got them all, including #11 which really isn't about the Constitution at all.

I missed the same two as AJAshinoff. I actually think that the Vice President, while remaining Vice President, has no Constitutional function in the Executive branch except to be ready to assume the Presidency upon the death or disability of the President. While "standing by," the Vice President is President of the Senate, which is his Constitutional function, and while performing that function he is functioning as a part of the Legislative Branch.

13/15, missed the VP one and the first VP one. I have a VP problem.

well I missed one
