First of all, here is the link to the article:
King Obama: House Considers Repealing 22nd Amendment

Secondly, here is a link to the bill:
www.opencongress.org...

H.J. Resolution 5, a bill introduced to extend the Presidential term in office, remains on the table for the House of Representatives. Proposed by Rep. Jose Serrano (D-N.Y.), the bill would repeal the 22nd Amendment, which gives any given President a total of two terms before moving on.


What is going on here?
This is some scary stuff man. I was under the impression that in order to Amend the Constitution, the states had to vote on it. Now Congress can just pass a bill and thats it.

All hail the Messiah, Obama: He is King & God!

It's worse than that. If this bill does pass correctly, it would not only give him access to another term, but it would allow him to run indefinetly so long as he was able.

That would make him somewhat like Vladmir Putin, he could give up his position in office, yet still make all the decisions.

Very scary stuff.

Pretty much. Just about every new president lately has had some bill go before congress to try and abolish the term limits of the POTUS. They never work out as it would take a new amendment to the constitution in order to abolish the previous one.

I agree, there is no chance that this bill will ever see the light of day.
But hey, they have to try! I give them an A for effort.
