No, it cannot have more than 1 obtuse angle at a time. If it were to have more than 1 obtuse angle, it would be an open shape and it wouldn't be a triangle at all.

It also has to do with the fact that all the sides have to add up to 180, an obtuse angle is more than 90 degrees, if you were to have 2 it would end up over 180 degrees.

A triangle cannot have more than one obtuse angle. This is because EVERY triangle must have 2 or more acute angles. If not, then the shape is not a triangle.
