I haven't seen this before, and a search here found NOTHING! According to THOMAS, it is still in committee - so it isn't dead yet ???!!!

Don't get your panties in a wad over this proposed repeal of the 22nd Amendment. It ain't going nowhere.

Over the centuries, more than 10,000 proposed amendments have been dropped in the congressional hopper. Only 53 of them have passed even ONE House of Congress. Only 27 have wound up ratified and part of the Constitution.

In fact, various proposals about the election and term of US Presidents has been the most popular subject. More than 1,000 have been introduced on that one subject. Obviously, none of those has passed Congress, much less been ratified. So, chill on this subject.

Did somebody tell this guy, that the President is George W. Bush, I know he's thinking billy boy (I think his wife would shoot him first though), but he's got to realize that if George gets a second term, this would all but guarantee him to keep running untill his own leisure.

The one this is designed for is not known for his underconfidence. But you are right about the wife thing though.

So, chill on this subject.

Everyone knows that its not going anywhere. But it IS interesting as an indicator of how far up the hindquarters politicians in New York are. Give those two another 4 or 5 years up there the place will be named for them.

I am glad they are New Yorkers now.

There are a pair of really stupid amendments I'd like to see repealed, but the 22nd isn't among them.

(Actually, it was a triplet of really stupid amendments, but one of them has already been repealed...)

It's hilarious.

Think about it.

The Rats are showing signs of frustration.

The only Presidents ever affected by the two term rule were GOP, with the exception of Bill Clinton.

The measure affected Ike, would have affected Nixon, disqualified Reagan, and will apply to Bush 43.

JFK, LBJ, and Carter failed to win a second electoral victory.

I hope if anything like this passes it would exclude previously and currently serving Presidents. Clinton would be a horror. But Bush? Seriously, the guy will be fine for 8 years, but we have much better people in our party who can fill the post better. They need a chance.

"JFK, LBJ, and Carter failed to win a second electoral victory."

Carter was the only one that ran for a second term.

Maybe I am new here...I understand all but "John Kerry". I mean, yes, he is dead wrong on almost every policy he supports - but didn't he get injured fighting in Vietnam? Kinda hard to say he is un-American when he suffered bodily harm to slow the advance of Communism in Southeast Asia.

Most bills are killed precisely by sending them to committee. They check in, but they don't check out.

Ignore this. Someone files a bill like this (and a zillion others trying to repeal practically everything else under the sun), and they're quickly dispensed with and forgotten about forever.

Doesn't matter.

LBJ would have been running for a second term, but chose not to run because he would have lost his hat.

The point is that the rats are upset.

The GOP should be more upset because the measure was passed to stop FDR, but only affected GOP presidents since.

...JOHN KERRY came back from the Vietnam War to lead Anti-U.S./War Protestors in the 1960's and 1970's just as verilant as those you see today.

...When JOHN KERRY spoke at the Veterans Day Ceremony at the Vietnam Wall last year some informed Vietnam Veterans turned their back on him just like they did when Anti-U.S./War Protestor BILL CLINTON did when he was President.

Anti-U.S. during the Vietnam War =

Anti-U.S. now.
