Wasn't there a president who had 4 terms (Roosevelt?)
Can Obama create an executive order or change the law so that he could run for a third term or indefinitely?
Nah, Teddy Roosevelt actually had 6 terms during which time he invented not only the Teddy Bear but also created the Kangaroosevelt or Kangaroo for short.
However, back when Roosevelt was in office the earths orbit was faster so each year was shorter than a year so his 6 terms in office were more like 4 "earth terms".
Glad I could help further your education on US politics.

No.
Did you flunk out of US History or are you just another paranoid "Obama is Hitler" nutjob?
It's called the 22nd Amendment and it would require a new amendment or a full repeal to do. It's not gonna happen. 2016 will see two more mediocre candidates beating out far better ones in the primaries and complete ignorance of third parties just like every other election.
The ignorance of our country's laws is so sad. Obama will no longer be president in 4 years and all the paranoid rednecks can go back to being led by an old white guy with an American name.

No, I'm not a nutjob - I'm not a democrat.
I hope you and the others who said it could not be done are right!
I think you're being a little harsh on the OP. I admit to asking if him/her was embarrassed to ask the question as it was posed without knowledge of our Constitutional Amendments, but I see nothing wrong or conspiratorial in asking if Obama could somehow try and make an end-run around our Constitution. Obama is the most arrogant and disrespectful of our Constitution when it comes to running this country of any President EVER!
Now I will specifically refer you to an event which may be rolled into a new stimulus package in the near future which includes a waiver for sanctions against UNESCO. This is BAD news and a violation of Federal Law.
And some people here are still dissing me for my OP question!
The Executive Order thing used in the wrong hands, could make someone a tyrant.
for example, just recently, correct me if I am wrong, but didn't obama decide by Executive Order to want to raise Congress salaries (this happened at the beginning of the new year this year).
And now he wants to use that executive order to deal with guns laws?
so thats two already..
Michelle Malkin was on tv today talking about a lot of obama using Executive Orders for a lot of things, but i'd have to research that to see exactly what she means.
By the way, I am still going to continue asking questions, voiciing my opinion, etc. and I appreciate those who wish to answer them whether or not anyone judges them in any way with colorful adjectives of which I will not repeat .... If you do not like my questions, you may choose to ignore me, but I am not going to stop.. I will never choose to be rude though. Thank you!
You can't Executive Order your way to repeal an Amendment. That isn't the way it works in the real world outside of conspiracy land. All Presidents have issued Executive Orders, in fact W issued more in his first term than Obama did in his.

Can he win a 3rd Term, possible. Though if we went though the process of repealing 22 amendment I think Clinton and Reagan's corpse would be the 2 nominees .
Tell me again how the possibility of Obama making an end-run around Congress on funding for UNESCO is a conspiracy?
Excellent post. Many things are happening that no one thought could be done. But, our president and his minions are doing it.
