Something has been on my mind, and I wanted to post it on my favorite forum. So I will attempt to make it firearms related. It is, and kind of isn't at the same time.
Bill Clinton = AWB. (There . . . now its firearms related ) But seriously, our forefathers instituted a limit to how long a president can be in office for a reason. FAST FORWARD to modern day post womans liberation society, and we are now in a time where it is very possible that a woman can be voted into office.
The problem is the fact that for the first time in history, it is possible for the first lady to become the president and the former president can become the "first man". What we have is fundamental breach in one of the most fundamental checks that our country has been founded on. President Bill Clinton (AKA Mr. AWB) could in fact find himself once again in the white house with all of the power of the "first man". This is a modern day issue that the forefathers could never have anticipated when dictating the laws which this nation would be governed.
In the real world husbands and wives tend to make decisions as a whole, suffices to say that Bill and Hillary had made crucial decisions that effect our nation with at least one anothers counsel . . . possibly (even likely) at the others request or pressing.
What we have is a moment in history where a family can hold a monopoly as commander and chief of the united states of America for well over the term limit of the office of president. A thing the forefathers never wanted to happen again. The problem is that when one family, group , or individual stays in power for to long the checks and balances that make democracy great begin to dissolve into the individual views of how a small person or group thinks the nation should be run. Like say . . . the Brady bill, or no "assault weapons". And in the future, no .50 cal . . . maybe it's to dangerous for us to reload our ammo anymore being that it's "putting pipe bombs" in the hands of our youth or something else absurd like that.
Two generations of George Bush is one thing . . . but a president and first lady combination in the white house AGAIN (just flipped) I feel is a violation of one the the most fundamental laws of our great democracy.
Am I the only one who has considered this or have others as well?
