LOL. I'm sure I stole it from his super PAC.

London had a homegrown attack. It has happened and likey will happen again here. What do we do? 

Since you've already asked 3 times and no one else will give you a serious answer(seems like ya'll are really bored today), personally I think the only way is via intelligence, there really is no other way. Obviously you can't kick people out nor did I see anybody seriously advocate that. You just thwart them, that is all you can do.

Your idea should also resolve the Constitutional problem. There would be no need for the Constitution because America would be so great, and Trump could become so-called president for life!

It is interesting, the MDR was insinuating the same thing about Obama.  If Trump does win a second term, I am sure we will also get a lot of talk about how Trump is looking to repeal the 22nd Amendment.

 

 And the pendulum swings both ways.

We have a winner! Of course that is what can be realistically done. I asked three times since none of the usual suspects replied.

Thankfully, this is one problem this country won't have worry too much about.

 

Personally, I feel two four year terms in office isn't really enough time, for a sitting President to really get much done. FDR's four terms, don't in hindsight seem to have been too bad for America. Quite the opposite in fact.

If a sitting President is still popular enough to get re-elected, I don't really understand why, he/she should not be allowed the chance of running for the office more than twice. Also, why only twice? Why not three times or even four? It all seems rather arbitrary, doesn't it?

What can I say, I'm a realist

Updated info on suspect: quite an interesting background and is typical for homegrown terrorists and once again a SA connection. Article is unclear but sort of implies he had multiple wives maybe at the same time? Quite a lot of potential associates being arrested. Failure of intelligence? All the hallmarks seem like they are there... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/23/violent-extremist-dropped-polices-radar/

In September 2004 he married Farzana Malik in Medway, Kent.

Other reports claimed to detail his professional career, saying that Masood recorded on his CV that he had taught English in Saudi Arabia in 2005 and returned to the UK in 2009 when he became a “senior English teacher” at a TEFL college in Luton. In 2012, he reportedly set up an English language tutoring business, named IQRA, based in Birmingham.

Rowley launched an appeal to the public for help with the investigation.

This is certainly what sent him over the edge.

Bigamy is having one wife too many, and monogamy is the same thing, si and sigh man.

Certainly nasty #######, I could not find mention of multiple wives, but seems to be one obvious factor.

From the Telegraph article:

 

Quote

Records suggest that Masood, who had given his occupation as an English tutor on several forms over the years, was married to a 39-year-old woman named Rohey Hydara, who lives in an Olympic Village apartment in east London.

and the same:

 

Quote

In 2004 he is understood to have married a Muslim, Farzana Malik. It is unclear what became of their marriage [...]

 

No current record of divorce or where/when he married Malik, assuming it was in SA. At any rate Malik doesn't seem to be his current wife (Hydara) who he apparently didn't even live with at the time?
