Rule of Threes

"In a room sit three great men, a king, a priest, and a rich man with his gold. Between them stands a sellsword, a little man of common birth and no great mind. Each of the great ones bids him slay the other two. ‘Do it,’ says the king, ‘for I am your lawful ruler.’ ‘Do it,’ says the priest, ‘for I command you in the names of the gods.’ ‘Do it,’ says the rich man, ‘and all this gold shall be yours.’ So tell me—who lives and who dies?"
-George R. R. Martin, A Clash of Kings

It's a matter of mythology in The United States that presidents only serve two terms. Our founding father, George Washington, served two terms as president and then declined a third. Following his example, no presidents sought a third term until Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1940. While FDR was one of the great presidents, he did violate an unspoken rule of American politics and the 22nd Amendment was passed soon after. And that's why our presidents are limited to two terms.

Twenty-Second Amendment
Section 1
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
Section 2
This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

Get it now, before it disappears.

Like most mythology, there are some inaccuracies in this telling. Washington did care about the example he set as the chief executive, but he also had health issues. He'd die two years after leaving office.

Movie Notes: Fantasic Four: First Steps

I take notes when I watch movies and after the movies, I post those notes on the internet. These are my notes for Fantastic Four: First Steps. Notes made after the movie are made in <<>>'s. 

Waaay more crowded than Superman.

Missed a preview with LCDR Pelia.<<Caught Stealing, maybe?>>

Running Man - Why give the water gun part away in the trailer?

Operation Hail Mary - This trailer gets less tolerable with each rewatch. Doctorate in Molecular Biology…not many cells in a sun. You can't deny the soundtrack though. <<YES, I KNOW THE SUN GOT SICK IN THE MOVIE AND THERE WERE OTHER REASONS! I JUST DON'T LIKE THE TRAILER!>>

Wicked Ever After - I did this one already.

The Roses - Okay.

Predator Badlands - "First hunt." I don't get this. I get that it has tons of cliches and you can't hate a Predator movie for that. Whatever.

Avatar 3 - So, it's an Avatar movie.
