I guess Mr. Joser Serrano likes the concepts of “President for Life” as in Hugo Chavez, Momamar Ghadaffi, et. al. dictatori.
...thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.
it’ll be more like Salvador Allende (Chile)...except the Military won’t do the deed, The Freedom loving American Patirots shall sweep out this P.O.S. by the Voting Booth!
It also takes a percent (2/3, or 3/4) of the states also to pass any amendment. Also I believe 2/3 of congress...Thats why it will never happen......

There is a lot about the “proportional Electorial” that makes me wonder if this is not something that can come back to bite us. Oh, I am sure it will de-power some like Detroit and might have saved us from a re-powered nobama, but what comes to us when its our guy that gets proportionalized.

Remember the last “election”? 19 wards in PA didn’t have a single Romney vote. Same story around Cleavland, OH. And then there was Bolder, CO with more votes than voting age adults.... And let’s not forget FL with voting machines converting votes to Obama, which is what I suspect happened in PA and OH.
Hope you guys are successful!
