I thikn he's trying to say that he doesn't think Mexico is a state, and that the US isn't a country anyway, as there is a global government

Yea I've seen that section of your site Tor, and it proves my point. There have to be other countries, but America may be the largest after it encorperates Mexico (and possibly Canada?) Also, there are clearly a lot of them because in AoI2, there is the roit at the United Nations style place, and there are many different countries, like Mario from Italy.

Well, maybe they set up the world government after the US Constitution. After all, we've got the federal, state, county, township, and town/city governments. Perhaps they just added one more level to it.
Come to think of it, why did that reporter bring up the whole "only 2 terms for a president" law? Nixon was never President of Earth, only President of the US. And I'm assuming the Constitution of Earth made the US Constitution defunct.

Or some virtual 'world government' with lines of demarkation based on common socialogical interests.

The Constitution doesn't even mention Presidential resignation, so it's ludicrous to think that there'd be a provision or exception for post-resignation executive candidacy.

It doesn't matter. He was elected twice. It doesn't matter if he served the whole term or not.

From what I recall from Government class . . .
A man can be Vice President as many times as he wants (assuming he gets elected). But if he steps in and becomes president in the beginning, middle, or end of a term, it counts as one full term. It doesn't matter if he's President for only a day, it counts as a full term.

I can't imagine that the United States would be dissolved into the Earth Government and not Canada. We're practically joined at the hip.
Okay, a Texan, a Canadian, and a Michigander are hunting in the middle of a forest. The Texan wants to show off his marksmanship, so he pulls a whisky bottle from his backpack, takes a swig, throws the bottle into the air, and blasts it. The other two ask him why he destroyed a perfectly good bottle of whisky. He answers, "Where I come from, the whisky is plentiful, and bottles are cheap." Not to be outdone, the Canadian pulls a bottle of beer from his bag and does the same thing. The others ask him why he shot a perfectly good bottle of beer. The Canadian answers, "Where I come from, there's plenty of beer, and bottles are cheap." Finally, it's the Michigander's turn. He pulls out a two-liter bottle of pop, takes a drink, caps it, puts it back in his bag, and shoots the Canadian. The Texan looks dumbfounded at him and asks why he did that. The Michigander says, "Where I come from, Canadians are plentiful, but bottles are worth ten cents."

What this is Canada related joke time?
When Canada was born, all the citizens gathered to name the new land. They decided to draw letters from a hat to make the new name. A man was selected and began to pull. He announced the letters as he pulled them out, which went like this: "C, eh? N, eh? D, eh?" And so CANADA was born.
And to even it out, an American joke: When God was making earth, he was deciding the future countries, which led him to create Canada. He told his head angel what he was doing: "First I will give them great amounts of land and many shore-lines. They will have rich amounts of oil, trees, and minerals. They will have lots of fresh water, and they will be blessed with a great assortment of wildlife. They will see their blessings and be a kind and happy people." To which his angel replied. "But sir! Surely you can see that this is unfair to some other countries, ones that have less? Why will the Canadians have no hardships?" And god said: "Oh, there will be hardships. Wait until you see the neighbours I give them!"
