Rep. José Serrano [D-NY] is proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.

How about: Serrano, deal with what’s happening TODAY!

[Recovering_Democrat]

Of course he is.

Question: How long until Lindsey Graham tries to prove he is bipartisan by co-sponsoring the bill for the Senate?

[Mike Darancette]

Repeal wouldn’t affect sitting pesident.

Here's who Serrano works for:

Interest Group Alignment Group Agreement

National Association of Realtors 100% (8/8 votes)

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 100% (6/6 votes)

NAACP 100% (7/7 votes)

American Nurses Association 100% (5/5 votes)

AFL-CIO 92% (12/13 votes)

it will never happen

the US will experience massive voter fraud and elect a constitutionally unqualified marxist- it will never happen

americans will have their wealth erased in a vicious 6 month economic meltdown as their president encourages panic— never happen

america will deficit-spend itself into the hole at a rate of a trillion a month- it will never happen

a president will stand unchallenged as he discusses building a national security force larger than the us military- it will never happen

[Secret Agent Man]

Doubtful. 34 states won’t go for this.

There is no need to repeal anything, the court can just do what they do with the 10th Amendment - ignore it! Besides term limits only apply to “natural born” presidents not immaculately conceived ones.

Obama needs 38 states (3/4).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Just as they have done with Obama’s natural born status. If someone were to complain about Obama running for a 3rd or more terms, the courts would simply declare that citizens have “no standing”.

Don’t you remember what happened to Herod when he was called a god?

“If I were re-writing the Constitution, the following term limits would apply: President, one six year term. Senate, two six year terms. House, five two year terms.”

And anybody descended from, or married to a descendant of, joe kennedy is excluded from ever holding any office.

LOL! I agree, with extensions to the Clintons and the Obamas.
