King Obama: HJ res 5

I couldn't resist sharing this:

http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-hj5/show

1/6/2009--Introduced.
Constitutional Amendment - Repeals the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution (thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President).

Sponsor: Rep. José Serrano [D, NY-16]

....

Id be lying if I said I was interested, or shocked at all, by/in this.

It wont pass.

And besides, we did pretty good for ourselves before the 22nd amendment.

I definitely don't see that bill going anywhere.... Just as I definitely don't see how the title is relevant, considering Obama doesn't seem to be involved with the bill at all...

Jfool · 01-18-2009, 10:14 PM

Relevance of title = timing, party affiliation of sponsor, and... srsly?

Anyway, no it won't matter, but I thought it amusing.

**slap_j** · 01-18-2009, 10:16 PM

I want the bill that gets Schwarzenegger into the white house.

**bravesfan007** · 01-19-2009, 01:17 PM

Ugh....That is the only word I can use to describe my disgruntlement.

How could this bill go any where anyways?

By the time a president served 4 terms he would more then likely be assassinated from all of the other partys.

actually, I would probably support this. President is the most popular office in the land. If a president continually satisfies a majority of voters election after election. I don't have a problem with him staying in office. If things suck, then the president gets all the blame.

I would support term limits on Congress before I'd support term limits on the President.

Good points, all around.

This is kind of a good idea, but what if you're the 40% who don't like the current president? then you never get your chance or anything.

sounds good I guess but I think it would have its flaws

Congrats. Democracy sucks.

Anyway, if you're in the 40%, then wouldn't you say tough cookies? McCain lost with more than 40%. In addition, wouldn't you expect the same kind of political leader to replace the last given that ratio? Candidates aren't THAT different.

I would care on the basis of how much money matters in the elections. If a president can cater to certain rich people time and time again, the advertisements will be ever more present and the propaganda much more thorough.

That sounds like a great idea!

Personally I like: unlimited terms, but none consecutive.

seeing as how the constitution meens nothing anymore I don't doubt anything. I mean we now have kenian making a speach tonight as his into to being the president of the USA. why not just make him permanent?

now this I do agree with. I have no doubt's that he will be during his 1st 4 terms even if they don't pass the bill. there are too many radical constitutionalists who want to see this country live.but if the bill gets passed he will be alot sooner then we think. it is very sad but hate is a terible thing.

power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.obama doesn't have the countries best interest in mind. he is a communist in every sense of the word. my family came here from cuba and became citizens. I was so sad for my grandmother the day that the votes were all counted. she came from the land where castro ruled. she told me herself "I know what communism smells like, and barak obama reeks of that horible stench" his speaches are much the same as the ones castro made pefore he had power.saying alot but not really saying anything was castro's nitch as well.

if one then the other.a president who likes his congress will pass a bill that gives them no limit on their terms and a congress who likes their president will want to pass bills to make his terms limitless.

it amazes me how you continue to show your lack of knowledge and belief in propaganda.

and you seem to be quite full of hate.

the president does not have absolute power.

he is hardly a communist.

you make a lot of bold claims, but have not backed a single thing up with any kind of evidence.
