Rush needs to take a break. Revoking the 22nd Amendment would need a two-thirds vote in both Houses and the ratification of three-fourths of the states. Not a chance of that happening. <
A year ago, it was inconceivable that the POTUSA could fire the CEO of GM. Welcome to the Twilight Zone.

That didn’t stop the Hondura President to change the constitution unilaterally from the Executive branch and ignoring Congress. And this is the guy that Obama supports
How likely is it for a non-native born citizen? to become POTUS?
IIRC, there is a constitutional safeguard concerning any amendment affecting the presidency: were the 22nd to be repealed, the lifting of term limits would not apply to the presidential incumbent at the time of its repeal, but only to his successor(s).
It make the false assumption that dictators follow laws
Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voters.
Provided the Constitution is still being followed. That sort of thing is happening less and less often. I said quite some time ago that if Obama believes he can get away with it, he will try to stay beyond his elected term. He has (at least) four years to test his limits and see just how much he can get away with.
Since when, does Obama care about the Constitution? When? I say never!
If the first 5 months of this administration is any indication, there won’t be any need for a silly old Constitution in 4 years let alone 8 years. It’s time to realize that this nation has slipped away and if we want any voice in the future we better find one real soon.
You do bring up a point about the Constitution not being just an agreement between the Federal Government and the People, It is also an agreement between the Federal Government and the States. Lincoln and FDR tried to erase that part of the Constitution, but just maybe enough of our 50 governors are literate enough to wake up and take back their rightful powers.
No, all it would take is a hastily concocted referendum plus the boys at Acorn and presto: a third term for The Leader!

I disagree with everything going on now, obama has no allegiacne to the people or the rule of law and no one is stopping him. If the 2/3 were a problem Obama would just have the new york times do a fake poll and we would wake up with obama looking for a third term.
New York is allowing bloomie a third term
this is not far fetched and with the corruption right now, it is a possibility. it is exactly why obama spoke out on Honduras. he is saying if this happens I get a third term through my Chicago way thugocracy, I am saying the military better back off.
Obama has no authority to do anything he has done so far or anything he has planned to do to us but he is doing it. With the corrupt behind you who is going to stop him?
By that time obama will have his own army who only reports to him. They will live well with your tax dollars. They wil not do anything against him because they know what happened to the serfs who did rebuke obama. Iraq in America.

Nope, it doesn’t take an Amendment, all it takes is people unwilling to prevent it from happening. I believe Pres. Clinton would have done the same (if he had thought he could)..... they did make a “back door” attempt.
