This has no chance of going anywhere and is purely symbolic, but what an ugly symbolism it is! I think what you will actually see is Michelle Obama running in 2016. There’s no law against that, she has as much experience as Hillary did when the left was touting her (in other words, she was married to a president), and the press loves her.
But the statement Serrano is trying to make is that Obama and his ilk should be our royal family forever, and that Serrano is hoping for a pat on the head from him. When he gets back from his latest fabulous vacation, that is.
What we really need is a bill to limit terms of House and Senate members.
A Congress with an 8% approval rating gets a 92% re-election rate.
Fits the definition of insanity.
Yep, saw this one coming like a drag queen on a parade float.
I think there would be more votes for sending Obama directly to jail ,do not pass go and not collecting anymore vacations
Article. V (Constitution)The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths (emphases added) thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
Note that regardless that Congress can propose amendments to the Constitution, only a 3/4 majority of states, not Congress, can acually ratify a proposed amendment. And given the way that Obama has divided the country, I don't see the Constitution being amended by 2016 for any reason; probably a vote-getting stunt for Mr. Serrano, Mr. Serrano possibly betting that his constituents don't know anything about Article V.
Also note that Article V is arguably the best kept secret of the unconstitutionally big federal government, Article V showing that the states, not the federal government, uniquely controls what the Constitution says, the states therefore having absolute control of the federal government (shhh!). So I don't think that corrupt Congress really wants voters to know more about Article V than they have to.
The bottom line problem concerning why everybody's so interested in federal elections of any kind is the following. As a consequence of widespread ignorance of the constitutionally limited powers of the federal government, voters don't understand that most of the federal government's powers are actually 10th Amendment protected state powers which corrupt presidents and corrupt Congresses have wrongly usurped from the states.
