Sorry, I didn't clarify: only change the stuff between 2006-2025. Also, unless it directly involves you, you don't need to put in the stuff from the international timeline.

Well since he first became President in 2008 he is allowed two consecutive terms ( 2016 ) but would have to take off one term whixh
would make it ( 2020 ) before he could run again, Normally that doesn't happen but there has been at least one President that held office over two terms. So if he won a third and fourth term he could still be President in 2025.
The downside of that is that he would be pretty old by then, but it is possible. I don't know whether he should be allowed to do that but I believe that he is alllowed by US Law.

OOC: I"m not involved here, but I feel I should comment. The constitution was amended after Roosevelt so that there is now a two term limit. In theory you might be able to get that repealed but...
