proving once again that democrats have NO moral compass whatsoever.

Satire???

[KevinDavis]

Not going to pass.. Period... It takes more than a simple majority..

[Ken522]

sponsored by Rep. José Serrano [D-NY]

This sad sack couldn't get any cosponsors to sign on .. Say no more ...

[Bringbackthedraft]

José Serrano [D-NY] ....................... Yea, do it! Once in place, after 2 terms a Junta will be ready to take over too. Where is this guy from Venezuela?

[Repeal 16-17]

Not going to pass

Constitutional amendments are proposed all the time in the Congress. They are assigned to the Judiciary Committee of the proposer's House of Congress and then assigned to a subcommittee. These proposals never come close to getting a floor vote. There's no need to be concerned about this, unless a Judiciary Committee vote is scheduled.

I seriously doubt this even gets to the floor of the House. Back when the 22nd amdendment was propoosed, it specifically exempted the effects of the amendment to the current occupant of the office when it was proposed in Congress. Harry Truman was never subject to its restrictions even though he didn’t run for reelection in 1952 or any presidential election afterwards.

[KevinDavis]

Then it would take at least a 2/3 vote to get it passed..

If Congress passes it, it still has to get through the states. If and when that happens, Obama will be long gone. Plenty of time to derail it.

[Paleo Conservative]

Then it would take at least a 2/3 vote to get it passed.

And ratification by 3/4'ths of the state legislatures.

[enough_idiocy]

King George, I mean Obama.

[lilylangtree]

Real generous of Pelosi’s Congress to set obozo as a dictator in a Republic. Appears that the RATS want to stay in power before obozo ever takes office.

[DBrow]

This is not a big deal. Every Congress puts this up as an amendment, every year.

[Sawdring]

I Don't believe it or a second. The Clintons would never allow it. The man could have eight years to serve. It is too early to start posting these threads.

[K-oneTexas]

True. But it also would give Bubba Bill a new wedge in the law to run again himself.

[PzLdr]

Next up, an “Enabling Act”!

[ElayneJ]

But it would be a great PR tool - if the Republicans would seize on it.....as if they ever would.

Dear Leader is watching the progress of the Democrat bill with great interest

Sweet justice would be this passing and us getting Jindal or Palin (or someone else) in and them not being able to do a thing about it.
