President Obama could get 3 terms if H.J.Res 15 abolishes term limits
Examiner.com ^ | 1-5-2013 | Angel Clark

Posted on 01/05/2013 11:04:39 PM PST by Never A Dull Moment

Americans around the nation were shocked Friday as they heard about H.J.Res. 15. H.J.Res 15 proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the Twenty-second Amendment. This would remove the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President. Rep. José Serrano (D- NY15) introduced the controversial joint resolution on Friday, the second day of the 2013 legislative session.

But, but 0bama said he won’t be running or campaigning again.

Dear Leader doesn’t have to run or campaign; he will just continue on in office until he’s ready to hand the reigns to the Wookie.

Why is that page still up if he can’t run again? Why would there even BE a campaign site for him anymore? It should have been removed Nov 3rd 2012. This should be in the headlines and wonder what the drones at MSNBC would say.

reigns = reins

I could call “pun”, but I’ll be honest and admit an error.

Once you’ve perfected rigging elections, ending term limits would be the next logical move.

Yup!

Somehow, I doubt Conyers would have proposed this in 2000 and 2004.

Why worry about some silly constitutional amendment? Obama doesn’t let simple details like constitutions get in his way. It’s a “living document”, anyhow.

It still takes 2/3 of Congress (both houses) to put it forth and to the states. And then it takes 3/4 of the states to approve it. That’s why you don’t see a whole lot of Constitutional Amendments in over the last two hundred years - the founding fathers set a high bar for passage.

“2. Isn’t there a law that says currently passed law can only apply to the NEXT administration?”

If they can get an appeal to the 22nd amendment, then they
can make it retroactive as well. Of course Obama could just
dictate it with an E.O. Who would stop him. He did support
an overturn of presidential term limits in Honduras. I
wouldn’t put anything past Obama. Think Linen, Hitler, Mao,
Stallin, etc. with the same values on human life.

I suspect that the islamofascists have many plans to destroy our country and western civilization. Among them is probably a scenario where they use the “ nuclear option” in the Senate to abolish the filibuster, and then the Treaties Clause to implement their power grabs.

This has zero chance of passage. It will require two-thirds of both houses, and then it must be passed in 38 state legislators. Take a look at an election map and see if you can come up with 38 blue states.

Looks like José Serrano knows how to suck up big time.

We should repeal the 17th amendment to take power away from the political parties and back to the states where it belongs.

“His campaign site is open and accepting donations”

Is it legal for him to continue to accept donations after the campaign has ceased? Could this be an FEC violation? He was running in the red for the last couple of months.

Need to offer a counter resolution reducing it to one term with the possibility of 2 extra years if 75% of the country wants it.

Even better, how about proposing one that read something like this "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."

Sounds good, but how many of those formerly known as illegals are now considered to be citizens? Anyone who has ever had another citizenship should not be allowed to hold office - there are many who fit that description and are far more loyal to America than most politicians today, but there can be no split loyalties. Anyone who knock the country (not to be confused with knocking the idiots in government - they ain't the country) should be disallowed too - that would have solved the problems of a Kerry/Clinto/countless others. We should also have the "Joe McCarthy" test - any socialist/communist/marxist leanings and you're out.

We could probably have fun with this - when I get to the point where I'm not eligible either, then all bases have probably been covered...
