Two terms is enough for any politician.

Liberals have no intent of imposing the laws and traditions of mere men on their “god”.

Knew this was coming-it will be slipped into some bill in the middle of the night on a Friday-or holiday weekend.
THIS is very very BAD.

It will have to be ratified by the States.
NOT going to happen.

It still has to be ratified by 2/3 of the states. Before ACORN that might not have been possible.

I give that liberal credit for at least going through the amendment process - most of the time they are shoving filth down our throats by judicial fiat or secret midnight legislation.

‘Liberals have no intent of imposing the laws and traditions of mere men on their god.’
Doesn’t this need more than Congressional approval to pass? Doesn’t a supermajority of the states (2/3, or 34 states) need to vote on something like this before it can actually become law of the land?

Serrano is a radical nutbag and introduced this resolution some time ago (under Bush, IIRC). It’s been floating around for quite a while and is laughable. BUT...
Under Barry, what was once laughable becomes reality. We have to keep an eye on this.

I seem to recall during discussions on this topic during college, that any amendment would only apply to future presidents. As I understand it, anyone elected to an office would be bound by the constitution as it was when he assumed office. Probably ways around this just as there seem to be ways around birth requirements-but that's what I remember and I'm stickin' to it!
I'd imagine, if this is correct, that any members of congress would be exempt from term limit legislation so long as they continued to hold their office. Only those elected after the amendment change would be limited to the new reg's.

OF course if Palin ever gets into office and she gets Reagan’s approval numbers they will be screaming bloody murder to undo their abolition of term limits.

Yep but don’t worry. ACORN is busy setting the redistricting up.

I guess we can’t trust the citizens to vote “correctly” after 2 terms.
Pretty cynical attitude toward democracy.

Another example of the lack of thinking going on nowadays.
Ironically, probably the best way to kill this is to ask it’s supporters “Would you still support it if a Republican got elected?”

Liberals have always covetted the return of Clinton... Carter.. Why restrict it to live ones? Now that the dead have the right to vote, it would be discrimination and hateful to say that FDR couldn't serve a few more terms.
