Yeah, I know Jose Serrano introduced a House resolution to repeal the 22nd Amendment a few months ago. He did the same thing in 2003. It went nowhere then and it’ll go nowhere now. Help me figure this out: Conservatives are absolutely convinced that Obamanomics was, is, and can only be an unmitigated disaster for the country, so much so that the chief strategy among the base for a Republican revival at the moment is to sit back, watch liberalism implode, and then welcome back voters to the right with open arms.
If all of that’s true and a backlash to Hopenchange is inevitable, how is Barry O planning to get a constitutional amendment passed before 2016? He’d need 2/3 of both the House and Senate and 3/4 of the states to ratify it. Even if every Democrat in Congress voted to lift presidential term limits (which they wouldn’t, if only for reasons of simple self-interest), they’d still need to pick up a bunch more seats in both chambers to push it through.
How bad, exactly, does Rush see things getting for the GOP — especially at the state level, where only 14 red states could block the amendment — that he’d imagine something like that might be possible? I don’t follow him here at all. Click the image to watch.

some of you guys going on about requiring 2/3 congress to adment the constitution are missing the point. Hondura President, which Obama supports, skipped that step
What is allahpundit ideology?
I find myself in almost constant disagreement with allahpundit. His articles are condescending towards the right
Some of you people are acting like Obama got elected by 120 % of the vote. Put away the tin hats.
I’ll wait for the almost daily, “RUSH IN A HURRY” thread from GOP_Lady.
Its kind of like the interstate voting compact. Its a sidestep of the constitution rather than a direct assault.
The main point is the left wing dems don’t want to hand power back to the conservatives because then the “forces of evil” would control the banks, gm, healthcare etc and might even divest some of it.
Certainly 10 million former illegal alien votes would help, Acorn election and census fraud will help. Doesn’t have to be Obama he can be succeeded by any left wing SOB.
You seem to forget, that this president just ignored contract law which is very clear
Exactly. After a major terrorist incident wiping out an American city we will have martial law and the Constitution will be suspended for the duration of the emergency. The emergency will not end.
If this scenario, foreshadowed by Joe Biden, should play out then it will require the Military to restore constitutional government just as it did in Honduras.
I don’t follow Allahpundit many times either. Some of his stuff is way too moderate sounding for my tastes...lol
Then we can go Honduras on his sorry ar$e.
And that clearly means he will get a constitutional amendment for a 3rd term and we haven’t even gotten through 6 months of his first term. Please.
Bingo! See my post #10. I usually will skip a thread if he is the writer these days.
Allahpundit sucks the wind out of ideas people like a little too much which is sometimes important to do. I don’t always agree with him but I like having him around.
All of our Constitution is belong to obama now.....
I’m not saying Obama has a plan to eliminate the Constitution and retain power at this time. BUT
1 He is trying to remake America into an extreme socialist nightmare and
2 You have to understand the leftists and especially academic types like Obama are legal nihilists. They believe the law is a sham and the judges do not follow precedent, they really just make decisions to uphold their version of social justice/ injustice. The liberals believe it is therefore totally justified to use the courts, law, constitution, anything - to remake society as it should be.
I don't recall him saying emphatically that "Obama IS going to try for a third term."
bttt
LOL its my argument with Liberals against the Obama government health care plan...
I said...Good go for it and as soon as the Republicans are back in the WH and in charge of Congress because you idiots overtax and the pain index forces change.... as soon as it happens...
Republians will make the following Patient Compliant standards mandatory.
Birth Control is issued by the government. Any Pregnancy that is unwanted is a direct result of patient non-compliance and Abortion is not an available option.
Same with STD’s.
I don’t believe Obama is competent enough to do a quarter of what people try to give him credit for.
