We might as well repeal the 13th Amendment with it because people who have their homes, food and jobs provided for them by others are rightfully called slaves and they should be treated as such.

Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY) proposed House Joint Resolution 5 to remove the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as president.

This bill was introduced into the Judiciary Committee on Jan. 6, the first day of the 111th Congress, and has no co-sponsors.

As I read somewhere else, it appears that the recent dawn of Hope and Change in America so moved Serrano that he simply couldn't contain himself, wanting His Hope-and-Change-ness Barack Obama to be in office forever, a la FDR, to become, I guess, King of America, rather than just the more pedestrian title of President.

Provided, of course, that the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania could and would be grandfathered.

BTW: Serrano represents New York's 16th District, which is located in NYC. This is what he said, in part, regarding Obama's inauguration:

“Today our national dream of equality for all was one step closer as we watched the inauguration of President Barack Obama. This man who came from such an unlikely background to the presidency has become the repository of our hopes and dreams. Now he will have the chance deliver on the promise of his message. We will stand side-by-side with him and put our collective strength to fixing our nation."

I'd say Serrano has overplayed his hand in this. But, then, that's what the Democrats, liberals and leftists seem to do a lot, especially when they're in power.

And full of Hope and Change. Or Hopes and Dreams.

This doesn't have a popsickle's chance in hell - but if some miracle occurred and this ridiculous vanity bill moved through congress and onto the oval office....it would still have to go through the states.  It would never ever ever all happen before 2012, in time to save the current illegal alien-president's butt.

Imagine the outcry had a Republican introduced this bill during President Bush's term.  DU would've had a field day (which would've stretched into a field week, then a field month and then several field years).

Headed off to a quiet death in committee.  But if by some miracle it ever made it out, it would be torches and pitchfortks time.
