From ghoulies and ghosties And long-leggedy beasties And things that go bump in the night, Good Lord, deliver us!

[null and void]

Dunno. One term of zero, a lifetime with Palin? We could do worse...

[Principled]

Horrific - but will never pass thankfully.

American Communists Party headed by King Obama at work. Hail the King!!!!!!!!!!!

If they want to mess around with amendments, they should pass a balanced budget amendment. We don’t need kings or emperors. Two terms is far too long in most cases.

[Tzimisce]

It’s really hard to amend the Constitution.

[Cboldt]

A bill of this nature is proposed and filed in EVERY session of Congress.

I propose limiting the term of the present White House occupant to six months, and we hold a new election to fix the biggest mistake of the 21st Century so far.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Or allow plebiscites to recall Presidents....

[MaestroLC]

Will never pass. Opposition would be massive.

But I think it is good to point out that King O wants to be President for life.

[monocle]

Since when do the Democrats abide by the Constitution anyway?

[rock_lobsta]

I think this is the 6th or 7th time Serrano’s proposed this, and it’s never gone anywhere.

If anything, we should add term limits to Congress.

"Dunno. One term of zero, a lifetime with Palin? We could do worse..."

As much as I love sexy Sarah, I would not even support repealing the 22nd knowing that she would be President for life.

As a matter of fact, I am in favor of term limits for members of Congress and quite frankly I don't think Supreme Court justices should serve past 80 years old..

[Logical me]

It’s really hard to amend the Constitution.

Not with King Obama and his power. Suppose he just write an executive order removing term limits. Can't be done? Who is going to stop it? Short of an armed rebellion, which will never happen, we are toast. Look at how he has trashed the Constitution already.

[Reagan69]

Yes, but what would the Supremes do with a challenge to that amendment? Would they say the multitudes who want King O for a third term are being disenfranchised?

Do NOT put ANYTHING past these commies. Just wondering.
