I seriously doubt this even gets to the floor of the House. Back when the 22nd amdendment was propoosed, it specifically exempted the effects of the amendment to the current occupant of the office when it was proposed in Congress. Harry Truman was never subject to its restrictions even though he didn’t run for reelection in 1952 or any presidential election afterwards.

Real generous of Pelosi’s Congress to set obozo as a dictator in a Republic. Appears that the RATS want to stay in power before obozo ever takes office.

This is not a big deal. Every Congress puts this up as an amendment, every year.

I Don't believe it or a second. The Clintons would never allow it. The man could have eight years to serve. It is too early to start posting these threads.

Sweet justice would be this passing and us getting Jindal or Palin (or someone else) in and them not being able to do a thing about it.

I just did a google search and saw that this was first introduced in 2005 under H.J. RES. 24. If it had passed, it would not had been effective for another Bush term, but for the next elected president. It did not pass.

It’s an on-going thing. It keeps coming up again and again, but it doesn’t go anywhere.

First of all, a Constitutional Amendment takes 2/3 of the Congress to approve. Then, secondly, it takes 3/4 of the states to ratify it.

If it is going to take 38 states to ratify, that means it will only take 13 states to stop it dead in its tracks. See how many states voted for the Republican ticket, if you want to get an idea of how it will go. Not too many people will fiddle with the Constitution, like they might fiddle with local, state and federal laws...
