Let's repeal the 22nd amendment, or at least amend it (the term limit one)


starting immediately.

and if not repealing it, let's allow ALL presidents past and present, to return after say 10 or 15 years.


Especially as the founding fathers did not intend to have term limits and it was only done as a jealous act by the repubs, who instantly regretted doing it as Ike and Reagan could have possibly won 3rd terms.

(and so could Bill Clinton in 2000).


As we have IMHO the singular best president we are ever going to get from this day forward, and with people living longer, and all that.

While it is on the state level- we should do
Like Jerry Brown did as Governor, both the youngest and oldest, and the best governor of California ever.

Oh God no we will barely survive 8 years under the preezy we do not need him coming back in 20 years to finish the damage.  :banghead:

As usual the DUmmies are late to the party.

How's this for indoctrination of our youth?

Are you kidding? Obama is in the perfect position to get it too. I won't be surprised if he gets another term. It's already sinking into mainstream discussions, not only on uber liberal boards and websites. Believe me, by 2015 there will be serious discussions about this.

If studying politics has taught me one thing, crazy is the norm! So what seems crazy now, and what appears like it will never happen now, won't be crazy in the very very near future.

They can discuss it all day long, but when it comes down to it, there are enough red states that would make ratification of repealing the amendment impossible.

The only way he will serve a day beyond Jan 20th of 2017 (or whatever day it will be in 2017) will be if he and his party ignores the Constitution and if he tried to pull a stunt that like I doubt he would survive the rest of that day.

Someone needs to 'DUmb down' the way the Amendment process works, so this primitive might understand why his idea is never going to materialize.

Actually, what I am hearing in my libtard circles is that they are already planning to talk about how this amendment wasn't in the original constitution. Though it was a formal tradition until a democrat FDR broke it again. So, it's pretty clear what this power grabby President will do.

That's not good.  It's a short step from DU to MSNBC to Harry Reid or Dickhead Durbin. 

Don't believe me?  Look for yourself.  They would make Stalin smile.

DUmbing down the way the amendment process works would be like trying to transmit the entire Webster's Unabridged Dictionary in Morse code, in one sitting.

So, uh, which amendments were in the original constitution?

Why do you suppose they're called "amendments"?

Well.  DUmmies are against the 1st and 2nd amendments, and they  wouldn't care if Obama kicked open everyone's front door to take their weapons, (4th), and the 13th(?), they want to keep blacks on their plantations.  So, I would guess that most of the amendments could be done away with and the DUmmies would be happy.

There are several amendments that are not part of the original constitution. So if we use their logic we can deny women the right to vote, we can bring back slavery and a whole bunch of other things. Friggin idiots.

You know...I said in another thread that I couldn't see this happening...but if 44 manages to at least partially subvert the 2nd Amendment this could become a more realistic scenario.

I'd be willing to bet he's already got "experts" looking to see if there is some loophole or leglese they can throw at us to show why he can ignore the rules.

Settle down, not even the DUmmies are going for graham cracker's idea.  Some of them actually thought beyond square one, in that someone may get in that they don't like.  And incumbents are hard to boot out.  Damned hard.

11. You mean penalize all women, just because they happen to be married? That would be sexist.

and do you mean people like Al Gore, Jerry Brown, FDR, JFK, and of course RFK and Teddy Kennedy?

Why should Malia Obama be penalized for something her father did?

I don't think Graham is a mole. It could be possible thought, but not likely.
