While we doubt H.J.RES.15, Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, will make it out of committee, this shows that the so-called paranoid right is not just dreaming things up. There are folks who wish for repeal of Term Limits. I expect that after the economy fails to improve, Democrats will say that Obama needs another term to clean up Bush’s mess.
Congressman submits Bill to End Presidential Term Limits
Congressman Jose Serrano (D-NY) put forth a House resolution that would repeal the twenty-second article of amendment to the United States Constitution on Friday. This would effectively remove term limits on the Presidency should it be ratified by three-fourths of the States. It has currently been sent to the House Judiciary Committee. The resolution would also have to pass both houses of Congress by two-thirds in each house.
