Marco Rubio, along with several other presidential candidates and Republican congressman are hell-bent on preventing President Obama from carrying out his constitutional duties to nominate a replacement for the recently deceased Justice Scalia.
Rubio appeared several times on CNN on Saturday and Sunday to share his view that he feels it is improper for a president with 11 months left in his term to elect a lifetime nominee to the courts.
“In the last year of a president’s term, in his second term especially, there should not be Supreme Court nominees put into lifetime positions for a president that you’re not going to hold accountable at the ballot box.”
Host Chuck Todd came up with an important follow up question to that line of thinking,
“Do presidential terms end after three years?”
