Will never pass. Opposition would be massive.

But I think it is good to point out that King O wants to be President for life.

This will never get 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the states to ratify it.

The 22nd amendment was passed after FDR was elected four times. I don’t know the party vote breakdown at that time, but to get the 2/3 in Congress and 3/4 of states, there must have been a significant number of FDR’s fellow Democrats who didn’t want to see any other president be elected multiple times like that.

To bring up this amendment now seems like rank political opportunism. It’s hard to see any Republicans go along with it, since the intent is that Obama be president for life with this amendment.
