Rep. José Serrano [D-NY] is proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.
PING
Won’t happen.
Cool! That’d mean Bush could run again so someone could deal with the terrorists that are going to attack us.
They’ve done this before. It’s a no-cost way of currying favor with the President, with your base (presumably), and it get you lots of free media coverage.
“All governments suffer a recurring problem:
Power attracts pathological personalities.
It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible.
Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence,
a condition to which they are quickly addicted.”

Yeah is that not Chavez’s argument ,i need more time to turn you in to morons...
This socialist scumbag puts this in every year in Congress whenever a rat is in power. No one even seconds it. It goes no where.
Great quote.
Shouldn’t they first pass a bill that allows a NON CITIZEN to hold the office before he becomes our dictator?
Lead Balloon, *Thud*
If they did do it, the democraps will reinstate it to get rid of him after the destruction he causes to their stinkhole of a party. Can you say dancing in the endzone before you make the touchdown. LOL
A million people demanding to see his birth certificate would be the best way of ending this madness.
Not to worry, (no sarcasim intended).
obama can only be (I wont and can’t say president) what he is, for so long without a country.
And the way this thing is going, we’re not going to last much longer I’m afraid.
That would make the “Tea Party” into the “See Party”. I think that is possibly the angle for our protests. He is hiding something. Hummmmm.....
This administration looks more like Hugo Chavez every day and these idiots are Zero’s FARC.
Nice.

Not exactly propitious timing given the way #44 is screwing the pooch.
I’ve no problem eliminating the 22nd Amendment so long as the 19th gets canned as well.
“I think that is possibly the angle for our protests.”
A million people demanding to see the birth certificate is absolutely the angle for our protests. It could be quick and decisive. This should be a major component of our upcoming Tea Parties.
OOOOH! NOT JUST NO BUT HELL NO.
That friggin muslin wants to be King for ever.
“I’ve no problem eliminating the 22nd Amendment so long as the 19th gets canned as well.”
I would take that trade-off in an instant.
Don’t you know this man is God...God I tell you! What don’t you peons understand? How can America survive without God at the helm? Oh, and if you oppose the “One” from becoming King for life, you are little more than a racist. So shut up and move on...move on I tell you!!!
I don't think he would ever want that job again...
I would bet that he is pretty happy that it is over with!
There are several others in line ahead of the 22nd.
ex parte meeting with litigant approved ----------- check.
Oath to obey Constitution ignored ---------------- check.
Code of ethics and responsibility ignored --------- check.
Warning from John Jay ignored------- check.
Pet for Cert. from scores of citizens denied - check.
He’ll ask for a resolution to trash can the Constitution next.
I suspect he is hiding lots of things and tying the two together is a great idea IMHO.
There’s going to be growing anger and calls for a taxpayer revolt. I have nothing against a taxpayer revolt except that it will get you 20 years in the slammer. We need to turn that taxpayer anger into calls for the birth certificate.
In the Senate Obama would have to buy only another 7 votes. (He got 3 Rino’s in the stimulus bill.) I could also see him getting 38 states by bribing the state legislatures with stimulus money, but to get to 291 votes in the House (2/3) right now would be extremely doubtful, especially after not one Republican in the House voted for the stimulus package. But if Obama and the Democrats were suddenly to up his complement of Democratic House members in 2010 from 257 to anywhere around 280-285 then it would get interesting. Thus not only is the GOP fighting to throw up roadblocks to the road to Socialism, it may also be stopping Obama from becoming President without an interregnum over the next 30-40 years, of course with the help of ACORN.
Absolutely a great idea!!!
I’m not surprised or upset. This was proposed for Reagan and even Clinton by some of their more ardent supporters. And it won’t take the economy being in the tank for too long before Obama’s support tanks. No President has ever been elected with higher hopes, and there is no way he can come close to living up to them.
He wants to the the ob"MAHDI!
The AUC is coming to the USSA for people like him.
Sooner the better.
You have the best post. Right on target.
If we can tie the Tea Parties with calls for the Birth Certificate, he’s gone.
If I were re-writing the Constitution, the following term limits would apply: President, one six year term. Senate, two six year terms. House, five two year terms.
I want repeal of a couple other amendments, starting with the one giving the child of an illegal immigrant U.S. citizenship.
Then maybe the one giving women the vote...
We have it here in Oklahoma, I think it has done wonders in getting out the entrenched powers of the past.
How about: Serrano, deal with what’s happening TODAY!
Question: How long until Lindsey Graham tries to prove he is bipartisan by co-sponsoring the bill for the Senate?
Repeal wouldn’t affect sitting pesident.

the US will experience massive voter fraud and elect a constitutionally unqualified marxist- it will never happen
americans will have their wealth erased in a vicious 6 month economic meltdown as their president encourages panic— never happen
america will deficit-spend itself into the hole at a rate of a trillion a month- it will never happen
a president will stand unchallenged as he discusses building a national security force larger than the us military- it will never happen
Doubtful. 34 states won’t go for this.
There is no need to repeal anything, the court can just do what they do with the 10th Amendment - ignore it! Besides term limits only apply to “natural born” presidents not immaculately conceived ones.
Obama needs 38 states (3/4).
Just as they have done with Obama’s natural born status. If someone were to complain about Obama running for a 3rd or more terms, the courts would simply declare that citizens have “no standing”.

Don’t you remember what happened to Herod when he was called a god?
