"The time has come to repeal the 22nd 16th Amendment to the Constitution, and not because of partisan politics...There, fixed it.

Yes, but only if it would have applied to President Reagan or President Washington. Otherwise, no.

Well put -- the rest should have been just ONE TERM. Especially Clinton...got help me forget the thought and sight of those two criminal Marxist maggots.

FDR provided some spectacular leadership at times in his tenure, he did not have the psychical strength to be a leading factor in the Yalta Conference.
Dewey would have been elected if Roosevelt could have not run a 3rd and term. And yes, the a Allies would have still won WWII and the atom bomb would have been developed.

One six-year term. No re-election worries affecting the decision-making of the President, and no "perpetual campaign season."That is one of the best suggestions I've seen in a LONG time. Every year before an election, all that is done is politicking. The president could be involved with the country more and find out what really goes on instead of the insulation of partisan politics.

term-limit congress Many in Congress on both sides of the aisle, those imbedded pains in America's hindside, need to be unceremoniously ushered out.
To: janetgreen
ABSOLUTELY NOT... The Libs must be grabbing for this one. Hillary wants to be Queen.

The first line of this piece is a gross mistake. Congress does not have the power to "repeal" anything that is in the Constitution -- whether the subject is the 22nd Amendment, the creation of the District of Columbia as not belonging to any state, etc.
Over 10,000 proposals to amend the Constitution have been put in the hopper in Congress over the centuries. Only 52 have passed even one House of Congress. And only 27 have been ratified by 3/4ths of the states, as required by Article V.
In short, this article is a tempest in a tea pot.

There should also be limits on Congress also. 4 - 2 year terms for Congressmen and 2 - 6 year terms for Senators. Far too many or these people lose their way after staying too long.
Power corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.

Someone introduces this amendment in every Congress and it always goes no where. It will never even see the light of a subcommittee.
World Nut Daily must be out of NAU conspiracy stories to bring this up yet again.

Hillary wants to be Queen What can Sensenbrenner be thinking? What is his aim in this bill? Doesn't make sense.
To: janetgreen; Victoria Delsoul; wita
President George Washington had it correct, two terms is enough. Representative Hoyer,
D-MD, stated; "...
This is an undemocratic result."
I say to Representative Hoyer; "This is a Republic, not a democracy!" And I note it always is the Democrats; FDR, Clinton, Hoyer, etc. who want more. Their craving for power doesn't get more obvious. When they get it, they rule the country vice run the Executive.
The 22nd Amendment is a wise restriction on budding dictators who occasionally make it to the Presidency. Repealing it would be high folly!

To: Credo
Why not term limit Congress Critters instead? Regulatory-agency-bureaucrats are even worse than Congress. Term-limiting Congress would shift even more power over to those bureaucrats.
