First of all, an ancient journalism axiom is, if a headline is a question that can be answered with the word "no" then "no" is usually the right answer.

Second, Executive Order 13603 isn't anything new. It's simply an updating of one just like it that Bush signed. The original Executive Order dealing with national defense resources preparedness was issued in 1939 (EO 8248). It has been updated a number of times, starting in 1951 by nearly every President through Bill Clinton, and amended twice by George W. Bush. Nothing in the Executive Order claims presidential authority to seize private property and place them at the personal disposal of Obama, nor does it allow him to remain in office for any reason whatsoever, including an emergency or simply by declaring martial law.

The Executive Order provides the framework and authority for the allocation or appropriation of resources, materials and services to promote national defense, to identify, assess, be prepared, improve, foster cooperation. It contains the directives for implementing these rather analytical tasks, mostly in the form of explicit delegations of presidential authority to Cabinet members and others in the executive branch. That's all it does.

If you read a headline that is a question which can be answered with "no," you can simply answer the question and stop reading, because everything written below it is almost certainly going to be crap. Never seen one of those articles yet that wasn't just a load of crap, whether it's on the Internet, or in a newspaper or a magazine.

I don't think we need to worry about the current President hanging around to violate the Constitution. The way things have been going for him I have to think if he could walk away now he would... There is talk of him staying around Washington so his kids can stay in the same school after his term is up.. I can't even imagine he will do that.. Even the people who got him elected have abandoned him for the next big juggernaut candidate. Politics as usual. Nothing to fret about.

Why he's the best and the smartest president in the history of the nation. Don't believe it? Just ask him. The only problem is the racist population that doesn't properly respect his greatness. He'd probably stay for decades if he could. Why shouldn't the best ever stay?

It'll be quite the fight, 'cause he'll need two-thirds majority in both Congressional chambers, along with ratification from 38 states. Good luck with that.

"In thinking about it more and more, I have come to the conclusion that the 22nd Amendment was a mistake. Shouldn't the people have the right to vote for someone as many times as they want to vote for him? They send senators up there for 30 or 40 years, congressmen the same." - Ronald Reagan.

He's already violated the constitution,multiple times. If he wants to walk away from being president now he should have chose not to run again and saved this country the grief.

Not one of Ronnie's best arguments.
I'm still torn on that issue. It's true that term limits is nothing more than telling people who they can and cannot vote for. Reagan argued, correctly, that as soon as the second term election was over, the next day people turned their attention to the election 4 years hence, thereby turning all four years of the second term into a lame duck presidency.

On the other hand, if we're going to have term limits on the president, then we need term limits on Congressmen and Senators. Either the president and congress, or nobody.

I guess I would prefer getting rid of the 'career politician'. Term limits across the board. Unfortunately some of the good ones will have to go too.

LDB speaks like a true Obamabot supporter. Let's unfreeze his records and find out the truth about your Muslim terrorist presidential office impersonator.....in my opinion, he is satanically being positioned to infiltrate our government to destroy it from within. Obamabots like yourself, came out like cockroaches and voted for the first time because you were promised free healthcare.....by the way, howz that working out for you. Not free huh? Check out Pastor Dave Manning on YouTube sometime. He has been warning us about this socialist piece of Muslim crap since 2008.
