ML>> sorry, but i made the only 100 on my finals test in
 ML>> highschool on this very question... the key phrasing
 ML>> is "consceutive terms" and there are only two
 ML>> consecutive terms allowed... then one term may be
 ML>> skipped and then two more consecutive terms and so
 ML>> on...

 FS> Might I suggest you re-read the XXII amendment -- the
 FS> exact wording?

i have read it and it doesn't say that one cannot run again after two back
to back terms... it seems that i'm not the only one that was taught this,
either... most all people that i've asked about this have stated two back
to back, skip one and then run again... seems that they were taught the
same thing as i... funny thing is that i've asked folk without regard to
their political affiliation... in fact, only one or two of them do i even
know... and these are not limited to one section of the country, either...
my schooling was in south georgia... others were schooled in colorado,
virgina, d.c., new york, washington, texas, arkansas, and other states...

 FS> The word "consecutive" isn't in it.  Also you might
 FS> want to complain to the person who made that same
 FS> mistake on your high school finals test.

now why would i do that? besides, it was a state or federal developed test
that all students had to pass to complete their course... kinda like the
CAT and SAT and such...

 FS> Of course if you *do* find "consecutive" in the
 FS> constitution then my copy might be flawed and I'd
 FS> be glad to apologize.

not a problem... either way, i'm not the only one who was taught this and
i'm not the only one who sees that it is a possibility...
