Barack Obama taking his Senate Seat back from Mark Kirk in 2016. Highly unlikely, like very unlikely. But, it'd be fun to watch.

He was great as a Senator and he would be a great addition again. But obviously, he won't. Sad

Yeah, you can't run for another office as an incumbent POTUS. Not that he did much as a Senator anyways... but I still sorta like Truman's idea of ex-Presidents getting non-voting seats in the Senate.

Won't happen with either Michelle or Barack. I see Madigan (if she doesn't run for Governor) or Daley running in 2016. Maybe Arne Duncan too.

Besides, I'd like to see Obama on the Supreme Court instead

It would be interesting to have a president run for office after being president. Only John Q Adams, John Tyler and Andrew Johnson held elective office after being president. According to wikipedia Andrew Johnson ran for Senate while president. So basically no one has done it in like 150 years.

I've actually thought about this, and I think it's more likely than everyone thinks.

But if he wins, doesn't this mean Biden becomes President for 17 days?

Yes, that's actually why I've said I hope that 2017 has three Presidents (Obama, Biden and Hillary Clinton).

Hopefully it'll have Obama, Biden, and Elizabeth Warren.

The change I made is more likely than the original.
