I was going to say exactly that but I got to thinking. We’re talking about the messiah here.

OTOH getting the states to do it is a lot tougher than it sounds.

Really? It worked in Venezuala:

Venezuela lawmakers pass unlimited re-election bill

CARACAS (AFP) — The Venezuelan National Assembly passed a constitutional amendment allowing unlimited re-election of the president and all other elected officials that must now be submitted to referendum within 30 days.

The measure is President Hugo Chavez's second attempt at seeking unlimited reelection. The constitution was amended one year after he was elected in 1998 to allow him to run for a second term in 2006.

Is the left in this country really all that different from Hugo Chavez?

Maybe, and maybe not. We're in a very unsual situatioin, with near super majorities in both Houses as well as the Presidency in the hands of a single party. Most anything could and probably will happen.

But I don't think this particular "anything" will happen in The Messiah's first term.

Of course it's really going the wrong way, what we need are term limits on Congress, not the removal of the one on the Presidency. But these are DemonRats, so going the wrong way is to be expected.
