I've never bought this either. What's in it for Obama to cancel elections and serve an unconstitutional third term? Nothing, that's what.
If anything, the Clintons have taught him how real power works, and how to get filthy rich wielding it. I'm sure the Obama's post White House future will look like the Clintons. They'll set up a slush fund disguised as a charitable foundation, she'll buy herself a Senate seat in a reliable blue state and they'll rake in the bucks peddling influence.
That's how you do it!
Patriot Act - remember that?
NSPD 51/HSPD 20 specifically states:
‘The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government. In order to advise and assist the President in that function, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (APHS/CT) is hereby designated as the National Continuity Coordinator. The National Continuity Coordinator, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA), without exercising directive authority, shall coordinate the development and implementation of continuity policy for executive departments and agencies. The Continuity Policy Coordination Committee (CPCC), chaired by a Senior Director from the Homeland Security Council staff, designated by the National Continuity Coordinator, shall be the main day-to-day forum for such policy coordination.’
