      @Klaus said in Could Trump drop out?:

      Is there historic precedent for a president dropping out after 4 years?

      LBJ didn't seek a 2nd elected term (though he finished JFK's term and was reelected for his 1st term) in the 1968 elections.

      64, but who's counting. Nixon won in 68.

      It’s confusing with the parentheses but George is saying he didn’t seek the second term in 68, which is correct.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        You're right, of course. In my haste, I was referencing the '68 election when he didn't run.

          Fun fact (for me at least) - she's part of my small ethnic tribe (there are only about ~25M of us around the world).

          Her name means "little one" in Punjabi, just coincidentally happens to be a good English name too.

            The woman has balls, I must admit.

            Jon would hit that, by the way.

              Yeah I see that now. Been helping daughter get packed and clean for the move. We drive to Winston Salem tomorrow. Driving a 16' box truck. Ugh. Luckily the truck is one way.

                  @Mik I’d def consider it - but not because we may have shared relatives in the old country.

                  Many prominent Punjabi politicians in Canada. Many are atrocious.

                  It’s moot though. I can’t vote.

                        Yes. A much under-appreciated POTUS. Good, honorable man.

                        “ Historians have praised Polk for having met during his four-year term every major domestic and foreign policy goal he had set. After a negotiation fraught with risk of war, he reached a settlement with Great Britain over the disputed Oregon Country, the territory for the most part being divided along the 49th parallel. Polk achieved a sweeping victory in the Mexican–American War, which resulted in the cession by Mexico of nearly all the American Southwest. He secured a substantial reduction of tariff rates with the Walker tariff of 1846. The same year, he achieved his other major goal, re-establishment of the Independent Treasury system. Historian Thomas A. Bailey says that during the Mexican war, "Polk was an energetic and indefatigable war leader, and he emerged, partly through rare good luck, with uninterrupted success. He kept the sole direction of the war in his own hands, from grand strategy to the procurement of mules."[1] True to his campaign pledge to serve only one term, Polk left office in 1849 and returned to Tennessee where he died three months after leaving the White House.”

                                    I too am a history buff and so I will buy and read that book. I will find it extremely interesting and I will learn many interesting facts about history, which I am interested in because I am a history buff.

                                      I’m not legal or illegal enough to vote.

                                      Your problem would only present itself if I were legal.

                                        Please oh please run Nikki Haley. Please.

                                        Could set up a Haley vs Harris female battle in 2024, if Harris is picked by Biden.
