The refrenced article is really not that important or to the point of my question...

President Bush - A Third Term?

What do you think?

If nothing else -the effort or perceieved effort to ammend the Constitution so that it would be possible even if unsuccessful or simply an act of strategery would drive the moonbats nutty to the point they could do nothing but babble incoherently!

[saganite]

I think even Bush fans would oppose this one. Anyway, a constitutional amendment is extremely difficult to achieve. Not likely in my opinion.

If you want FReepers to read articles you write yourself, post the whole thing here and quit floggin your blog.

Rubbish.

[pipecorp]

Where's the tin foil?

[GSWarrior]

The way the left goes crazy every time Bush gesticulates one might think he is running again.

Not worth a comment....

Note that the 22nd includes: "But this Article shall not
apply to any person holding the office of President when
this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not
prevent any person who may be holding the office of
President, or acting as President, during the term within
which this Article becomes operative from holding the
office of President or acting as President during the
remainder of such term."

The 22nd only passed because it was not retroactive (to
the sitting POTUS, then Truman(D). There would be strong
resistance to making the repeal retroactive to the
sitting president, which this bill is, as written.

Anyway, this junk began late in the Clinton epoch, and
the name "Clinton" is enough to keep most GOP from
voting for it. Similarly, the name "Bush" will keep
most Dems from voting for it.

In any case, the ratification takes essentially forever
(nearly 4 years for enactment, in the case of the 22nd).

Bottom line: ain't gonna happen.

There’s been a lot of weird Neo-Con activity that would indicate that they would like to repeal the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution and run George Bush for a third term.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH--! Delusional.

Twilight Zone ping!

The moonbats say he wasn't elected the first time so I guess he technically has another term he can serve. Actually they say he wasn't elected either time so he should still have two terms he can serve.

You're right. It's not important, accurate, or even interesting.

[melt]

With Hillary running for her 3rd term as Co-President, with Bill--- it's already happening.

[infidel29]

It's actually the dems behind this one, they were working on a bill to allow for a third term for POTUS. They hope to get Slick Willy another term.

As a bone tossed to repubs, they were going to include a provision that would allow naturalized immigrants to run as well. Thinking repubs want Arnold to run. ...scary...or more frightening, George Soros.

I used to like reading this guy in PC mags.

I didn't know he was a nutjob.

[Lunatic Fringe]

Even if the Amendment passed within the next 3 years (HIGHLY unlikely) it probably would not apply to the current President.

[Galveston Grl]

I remember reading about this during the Clinton Administration. I think some in Congress want to open the Presidency to three terms. But it's not likely a winner with voters because most of us our sick of our Presidents after eight years.

[pissant]

I like spreading these rumors. It drives the commies (dems) nuts.

[11th_VA]

Yes, El Presidente of Mexico ...

[verity]

Sounds like too many beers to me. ;-)

[MikefromOhio]

yeah friggin right....

That wouldn't come CLOSE to passing the Senate and CONSIDERING how split the states are, it has no chance of getting repealed either.
