It’s an odd thing...for around 150 years...Presidents never stayed more than two terms, without any rules in place. Only as we get to the FDR period, does this change. By the mid-1940s...there’s a fairly long view by most voters that some things done in the interest of the Depression...really didn’t do much except extend the depression, and the general fault goes back FDR himself. So rules were enacted to ensure that we didn’t get into that kind of mess again. Personally, I’d like the same limits for Senators and Congressmen. Rather than create full-time, life-time folks for positions...like Lords-for-life, it’s best to keep moving them on at some point.

0bambi doesn’t need to worry about any silly Constitutional Amendment. He’ll run again and again OR he’ll simply name himself President-for-life, then his wife, his daughters, their children, etc.

Reminds me of the low-level campaign to remove the natural born citizen clause from the constitution.

”The 22nd Amendment is an insult to American voters who are wise and well-informed,”. . .

Falling on the floor, laughing hysterically.

As a wise, well-informed voter, I NEVER want to see any one president serve more than 2 terms. EVER.

It's the foolish, ill-informed who support eliminating such limits. Like the ones who voted twice for president obamination.

Thank Heaven for the Constitution!

there ought to be a rule in congress. introduce a bill and it doesn't get enough votes to pass, you must resign. maybe that will reduce all the wasted time and energy on bull shit

Is that the sound of 90 million guns locking and loading?

[Libloather]

...removing the limit on how many terms a president may serve in office.

Replace it with term limits on the House and Senate?

Repeal of the 22nd Amendment shall not possibly come in time to be of any benefit to Bronco Bama, short of totally suspending the Constitution altogether (do not count this possibility out).

NOW, Bronco Bama is looking for a loophole allowing him to unilaterally raise the amount of whatever national debt which has been incurred, under the 14th Amendment, Section 4, but it takes a keen eye indeed to detect this authority in the phrase, “The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services is suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.” The validity might not be questioned, but the authority to increase it certainly can and should be.

Is this in the same Constitution that Bronco Bama wants to simply declare “invalid”? If suspended, ALL the provisions are equally inoperative, and it is like, well, trying to run the nation’s finances without a formal budget for disbursing the resources of the US Treasury.

Oh, wait. The Senate has not acted on a budget measure since about 2009....

[Paleo Conservative]

It takes more than a congressional resolution or even a law to remove the term limit restriction. It takes a constitutional amendment, and and amendment wouldn’t even get a majority in either the House or Senate much less a 2/3’rds vote.

[fortheDeclaration]

We need the same term limits on Congress.
