[Answer] 10. How many consecutive full terms of office can an elected president of the US serve, under the terms of the Constitution?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "10. How many consecutive full terms of office can an elected president of the US serve, under the terms of the Constitution?"



...1. One 2. An unlimited number 3. Three 4. Two Under the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution the president can only be re-elected once. There was unease in America when Franklin Roosevelt maintained what was felt by many to be too long a period of office and this Amendment to the Constitution was added in 1951. To amend the Constitution is extremely difficult and requires widespread support. A two thirds majority is required from both houses of Congress (or a special constitutional convention of states) and ratification by three quarters of the states. In theory, a president could serve almost two and a half terms of office. If a vice president were to take office on the death or incapacitation of the previous president with less than half of the four year term left, s/he could serve two more full terms. Hence the use of the phrase "full terms of office" in the question!

[Answer] 2. B - Next we have Benazir Bhutto, the first woman ever elected to lead a Muslim state. Which country did she lead from 1988 to 1990 and then again from 1993 to 1996?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "2. B - Next we have Benazir Bhutto, the first woman ever elected to lead a Muslim state. Which country did she lead from 1988 to 1990 and then again from 1993 to 1996?"



...1. Bangladesh 2. Libya 3. Saudi Arabia 4. Pakistan Benazir Bhutto was born on the 21st of June 1953 and was the eldest child of former Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Zulfikar founded the democratic socialist Pakistan People's Party (PPP) in 1967, and served as its leader until his death in 1979. From 1979 until 1983 the party was led by his wife Nusrat before their daughter Benazir took over upon Nusrat's death. Benazir Bhutto was first elected into the position of prime minister in 1988 following a very large swing in voting towards the PPP and away from the military government of General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. Throughout her first two years in power she struggled against the President Ghulam Ishaq Khan, who still had the power to veto any policies put forward by the prime minister. In 1990, stories of corruption appeared in the media, discrediting Benazir Bhutto, and she was eventually dismissed by Khan in August of that year. Bhutto was elected for a second time in 1993, narrowly ousting Nawaz Sharif of the Pakistan Muslim League out of the position that he'd held since 1990. However, more charges of corruption again discredited Bhutto and she was dismissed by President Farooq Leghari in 1996. She went into exile in Dubai in 1998. She was attempting a return to power after having lived in exile for some years when she was assassinated in a motorcade in December 2007.
