Bush preps historic Third Term - memo
By Thomas C Greene in Washington Published Saturday 1st April 2006
The US Department of Justice (DoJ) and the office of the White House
Counsel are preparing a draft document laying out the President's
wartime authority to remain in office past 2008, The Register has
learned.
The scheme is described as an emergency "continuity presidency," made
necessary by the extraordinary circumstances and unique challenges of
protecting the United States from the threat of international
terrorism.
"The world changed on 9/11," a confidential DoJ memo obtained by The
Register explains, "and no Administration is US history is better
suited to adapt productively to those changes than this one.
"The Attorney General supports the basic framework in the White House
Counsel's draft proposal for a future Executive Order establishing a
Continuity Presidency, with two provisos: 1. There must be at least
the appearance of a time limit, which the AG believes might be
satisfied by tying the duration of the Continuity Presidency to the
duration of the GWOT [global war on terrorism]; and 2. The House and
Senate Majority Leaders and the Chairpersons of the House and Senate
Judiciary Committees must issue a written certification that they have
approved the plan.
"AG does not believe that the plan will succeed unless those
conditions can be met. Suggest you liase with [the White House office
of] Legislative Affairs and get their sense of the liklihood that the
key Members will work with us."
The memo is signed Christine McIntyre, Special Assistant to the United
States Attorney General, and is addressed to Philip Van Zandt, Special
Assistant to White House Counsel Harriet Miers.
A second memo leaked to The Register, this time from DoJ Assistant
McIntyre to Jock Mahoney, Special Assistant to US Solicitor General
Paul Clement, and to Philip Van Zandt at the White House, anticipates
an immediate Supreme Court challenge to the scheme, and offers a few
suggestions for defending the Administration's action.
"We will be attacked on the basis of Article II Section 1, and on
Amendment XXII," McIntyre writes. "Thus it is absolutely crucial that
the anticipated Executive Order for a Continuity Presidency make no
mention whatsoever of a 'Third Term.' This will eliminate appeals to
Amendment XXII, and leave us free to focus our attack on Article II
Section 1 alone. Thus, the Executive Order has got to be framed as a
necessary - and Congressionally authorized - extension of the
President's Second Term, so that we can base our arguments on the
Joint Resolution and Article II Section 2.
"Above all," McIntyre warns, "we must emphasize that the 2001 Joint
Resolution, in which Congress empowered the President to 'use all
necessary and appropriate force ... to prevent any future acts of
international terrorism against the United States,' and Article II
Section 2 of the United States Constitution, give the President ample
authority to issue an Executive Order for a Continuity Presidency for
the duration of the GWOT, to exercise fully his mandate to protect the
American people from harm.
"We must also press the national security angle hard and emphasize
that the United States would be endangered severely by a change of
government at this time. America cannot afford to give the terrorists
such an opportunity."

It looks like a trial balloon, like when they leaked that they were
going to delay or cancel the last election. Spooky stuff.
OTOH, it's April 1st.

Okay, it's not a particularly funny joke, but it's still a pretty
obvious one this being April 1st and all. Wake up little fishy.

This is no joke. Bush has gotten away with stealing two elections and
blowing up WTC and lying america into war. So don't put a third term
attempt past him. I mean who's gonna stop him. The democrats and the
media are totally bought off.

Oh please, even he can't be that far gone. Don't you remember the kook
claims that Clinton was going to do the same thing, declare himself
Emperor, etc. I think it's basically the same "theory" as above, too.
What a crock...

It says "April Fool's" at the beginning of the article? Too retarded to
catch that, dumb ass? ROTFLMAO.

Just because you're stupid and deluded enough to believe America was
"lied into war" doesn't mean the rest of the populace is so delusional.
But do have fun with that. :-)

As are the guys over at the register.
Tried sobriety yet, faggot? :-)
