Re-Election Question

I don't want to edit the part about being able part of presidents being able to run for reelection if the term of office was not completed. I am not certain regarding the source of this information. Please note the following from the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines.

Article 7 Section 4
The President and the Vice-President shall be elected by direct vote of the people for a term of six years which shall begin at noon on the thirtieth day of June following the day of the election and shall end at noon of the same date six years thereafter. The President shall not be eligible for any reelection. No person who has succeeded as President and has served as such for more than four years shall be qualified for election to the same office at any time.
No Vice-President shall serve for more than two consecutive terms. Voluntary renunciation of the office for any length of time shall not be considered as an interruption in the continuity of the service for the full term for which he was elected.

I placed it there because I didn't know why Arroyo can still run in 2004. It seems that this sentence: "No person who has succeeded as President and has served as such for more than four years shall be qualified for election to the same office at any time." fits the bill nicely. Feel free to edit my mistake! --seav 03:25, Aug 19, 2003 (UTC)
