President Obama could get 3 terms if H.J.Res 15 abolishes term limits

I find it very unlikely that this would ever pass but in this day and age, who knows. If passed, it would be a disturbing turn of events. It would also make all of our more liberal friends that were so sure that the previous president was going to get some sort of law or whatever passed so that he could stay in power.... now the shoe is on the other foot.

Americans around the nation were shocked Friday as they heard about H.J.Res. 15. H.J.Res 15 proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the Twenty-second Amendment. This would remove the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President. Rep. José Serrano (D- NY15) introduced the controversial joint resolution on Friday, the second day of the 2013 legislative session.

The last President to serve more than two terms was Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt served three full terms as President and was elected to a fourth term. Roosevelt died 83 days into his fourth term in office.

Congress passed the Twenty-second Amendment on March 21, 1947. The required number of states ratified it in 1951. There have been numerous attempts to repeal the Twenty-second Amendment, including a previous attempt by Rep. José Serrano. Rep. Serrano attempted to repeal the Twenty-second Amendment with H.J.Res. 5 in ....

Opponents of H.J.Res. 15 are being urged to inform their representatives of their opinions and to voice their opinion on PopVox.com.

Most of us and the President himself are quite tired of each other by the end of the second term anyhow. I have heard this rumor of recent too, but never thought anyone would propose it this soon.

Mr. Serrano has been in the House since 1989.  His actions now and in 2009, shows exactly why we need to restrict Congress to at most 12 years per chamber in term limits.  This is an amendment that may actually get traction and approval by the requisite number of states.
