How is it that Jerry Brown can run for governor of California after having already served 2 full terms?

He’s grandfathered in. At the time he was governor, there were no term limits. So he can be elected again for two more terms, I believe.

According to Wikipedia, the governors of California have a term limit of two terms, if served after November 6, 1990. Jerry Brown was governor from 1975 to 1983, so it does not apply to him.

I wonder what Arnold’s going to do next…

@wundayatta @Yetanotheruser

Thanks for your answers.

@Dr_Dredd

Are you glad that Arnold can’t run for president?

@Brian1946 I’m not sure. I think he’s less crazy than many of the other candidates…

I’m not a big fan of “Ahnold” as an actor, and even less as a politician, but I think he has been able to do more for California than Jesse “The Body” Ventura ever did for Minnesota.

Jerry Brown is still alive?

Governor Moonbeam is alive and well. He spent the last 12 years as Oakland’s Mayor, and as the state Attorney General. I don’t believe he has dated Linda Ronstad in many years, tho.

Arnie has done nothing for California. I can’t wait to vote for Jerry Brown. How exciting.

@tinyfaery

If I vote for Brown (if I don’t, I’ll probably vote Green and not Whitless or Poisoner), it’ll be my third time.

Meg Whitman is my favorite kind of Republican.
The kind that doesn’t vote.

@filmfann

Good one and I agree.
I’m also very fond of Republicans that don’t run for office either. ;-)

I have 2 son in laws that work for the state of California. Any Arnie movies are now banned from their homes. They hate the guy.

Meg Whitman nearly ruined EbAY. She will finish the horrific job Arnold started.
