Something or someone had caught my attention on Facebook... Obama to run for a third term, so I checked it out on Snopes... I had doubts that what I read on Facebook was true but what I did find on Snopes surprised me.

I read this;

From your link to Snopes:

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.
If passed by both houses of Congress and ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures (an exceedingly unlikely possibility), such an amendment would allow any president to serve an unlimited number of terms in office. It would not, however, establish anyone as "President for life," because it would not remove the requirement that the president be elected to office every four years.

Although Rep. Serrano may be a Democrat, the rhetoric quoted above stating that the purpose of his proposal for repealing the 22nd amendment is specifically to "pave the way to make Barack Obama president for life" is not supported by the facts. Rep. Serrano has introduced the very same proposal to Congress every two years since 1997 (a total of nine times), regardless of which party was currently occupying the White House and starting well before Barack Obama became involved in national politics. On the first two occasions (in 1997 and 1999) the incumbent president was a Democrat (Bill Clinton); the next four occasions (2001, 2003, 2005, and again in 2007), were after the e******n of a Republican (George W. Bush). Rep. Serrano's 2013 bill is the third time he has proposed that same legislation to Congress since the e******n of Barack Obama, following similar efforts in 2009 and 2011.

Likewise, another Democrat, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, introduced a similar proposal six times in recent years, also regardless of which party was currently occupying the White House. Hoyer introduced such proposals in 1995, 1997, and 1999 (all during the presidency of Bill Clinton), and again in 2001, 2003, and 2005 (all during the presidency of George W. Bush).

Other members of Congress who have offered similar proposals in the last twenty years include the following: • Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts (Democrat): 1995, 1997, and 1999 (all during the presidency of Bill Clinton).

• Rep. David Dreier of California (Republican): 1997 (during the presidency of Bill Clinton).

• Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York (Democrat): 1995 (during the presidency of Bill Clinton).

• Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky (Republican): 1995 (during the presidency of Bill Clinton).

• Rep. Guy Vander Jagt of Michigan (Republican): 1991 (during the presidency of George H.W. Bush).

• Rep. Martin Sabo of Minnesota (Democratic-Farmer-Labor): 1991 (during the presidency of George H.W. Bush).
According to our survey, not a single one of these proposals was ever so much as brought to a v**e before Congress (they were all referred to committee and languished there), much less passed and sent to the states for ratification.

I***T, did you even read it? How about "thou shall not lie".

Yes, I did read it. That is why I posted both links. The Snopes LINK to verify the first LINK. What I was surprised about was the number of Nit-Wits that wanted to extend the term limits for the Office of the President. Why do you think I make the post? Three replies to this post and no one commented on the content.

What do you think of giving the President unlimited terms?

BTW Thom, God bless you and may you have a wonderful day for you and your family. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I'm generally against term limits but the President maybe should have them or maybe it's just because I'm used to them. There have been presidents I really wouldn't have liked to see get more terms. Most presidents aren't real popular by the end of their second term. I think I'm probably in favor of leaving things like they are but not because of any particular feelings about the current president.

When I read the first link I had to ask myself f this was true because to be honest, I would not put it past him and I was furious to think he would try but still I had to check if other sites on the web reported the same and of course to check what Snopes had to say.

What I found was that it was not until 1951 that the 22 amendment was past to set tem limits after Franklin D. Roosevelt won four consecutive e******ns between 1932 and 1944. However, there are still attempts to repeal the 22nd Amendment. Google/Bing the topic of this thread and you will find plenty of sites reporting on Obama seeking a third tem as President. This is not good regardless of how anyone thinks about Obama.

BTW, I thought all the left wing nut , liberal, Hollywood trash was going to move out of the country if Bush got re-elected! WTF they still here? Or did they return when Obama got emaculated?

nakkh Loc: San Mateo, Ca

Just wanted to make sure.


Do you really think Obama wants a third term?

I think there ought to be term limits for the office of President and 2 terms or 10 years (in the event of a VP taking over) is plenty. I think the same courtesy ought to extend to the Legislative branch of government as well. I am ok with the life appointments of the Judicial branch.
