Some People Really Like President Obama, Don't They?
This dates from before he was even sworn in:
HJ 5 IHHere, check it out for yourself. It doesn't look like a hoax to me.
111th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. J. RES. 5
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.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 6, 2009
Mr. SERRANO introduced the following joint resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
JOINT RESOLUTION
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.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years after the date of its submission for ratification:
‘Article--
‘The twenty-second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.’.
Congressman José E. Serrano must want to make sure that we're not limited to only eight years of President Obama. (Perhaps he wanted to save the President-elect from a minor gaffe.)
As Glenn Reynolds says, this is extremely unlikely to happen. It is comical, though...
