Already? (Democrats Introduce Law to Repeal 22nd Amendment, allow Obama to serve > 2 terms)
National Review ^ | Monday, January 19, 2009 | [Andrew Stuttaford]

Posted on 01/19/2009 5:00:57 PM PST by Behind Liberal Lines

With President-elect Barack Obama set to take the oath of office to begin his first term, one New York Congressman wants to make it possible for him to one day serve a third. Representative Jose Serrano (D) has introduced a bill in the House to abolish the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which limits presidents to two consecutive terms or ten years in office.

Since Presidents don’t seem to have any real say in running the country any more, why not just go ahead and make Obama President-For-Life? It will save a fortune because they won’t have to stage these expensive phony elections, and the taxpayers can keep the same White House china indefinitely. ;)

"Representative Jose Serrano (D) has introduced a bill in the House to abolish the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution,..."

Mental retardation is a sad thing--especially in a Congressman.

Two-thirds of the states must ratify.

Ain’t gonna happen.

Not to mention the two thirds house vote!!!

Agreed, It not gonna to happen!!

Some people just don't seem to grasp the fact that about 1/2 of the house and 90% of the senate would like to be president. They will never vote for anything that would lower their chance.

For all of you who don't know what it takes to change the Constitution, try google.

Look Up “Con Con Constitutional Convention” on google: They don’t have to do this; they’re on the verge or rewriting our constitution anyway, either this or throught the courts, and UN (Senate-treaty)!

Well he is after all the most qualified President we've ever had. We really don't need elections any more. We've reached Nirvana!

What’s friggin’ amazing is how many here don’t know about the point you made.

And I used to think that conservatives understood the basics of American government and civics. Not anymore, most here seem to be nothing more than reverse-liberals. Acting exactly like a liberal, but for ‘our’ side.

It would never have enough states to ratify it. No way.

See post 16 (the one right above yours)...

Imagine if what you said happened 2-7 years ago... think President Bush would have remained in office?

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

"The bill is absurd. Its never going to happen that 3/4s of the states will ratify anything like that."

Hmmm! Similar logic failed to stop the 16th!

Wish-full thinking...

Not even remotely similar.
Not wishful thinking at all.

3/4s of the states today could not agree on thing one.

“Two-thirds of the states must ratify.

Two-thirds of congress and three-quarters of the states is needed to pass a Constitutional Amendment I believe.

LOL... Liberal pipe dream. Considering it would take 2/3 of the states to ratify, and a lot of them have term limits or would like them, for their own officials....

Didn't they float this crap for the Toon?

Now granted, the Criminal Party doesn't give a damn about the Constitution.
