A Bill to repeal this Amendment has been introduced in Congress for at least the last decade or two. It has never gotten anywhere.

And in any case it would not apply to the current sitting President (Obama). Same thing as when the amendment was passed -- it didn't affect Truman (the Dem), but it affected Eisenhower (the Rep).

If the Dems were to pass this, and get 3/4 of the states to agree (never happen), the first President it would apply to would be the Republican who will follow Obama.

Everybody go back to sleep now. ;-)
