    Repeal the 22nd amendment?

    Upon hearing the news that members of congress spend their 3 day work weeks playing solitaire Dick Sucker dropped us with this pearl:

  2. The media is not reporting this resolution. This needs to be sent out everywhere. If this is passed then a dictatorship under a Usurper with his czars will take over America.

  3. It takes passage of a Constitutional Amendment to repeal an amendment. Somehow I don't see this resolution as something we really have to worry about. Although it does give the Cassandras something else to carry on about.

    Let's see how easy it is to ratify an amendment.


    Article Five: Amendments

    An amendment may be ratified in three ways:

    The new amendment may be approved by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, then sent to the states for approval.
    Two-thirds of the state legislatures may apply to Congress for a constitutional convention to consider amendments, which are then sent to the states for approval.
    Congress may require ratification by special convention. The convention method has been used only once, to approve the 21st Amendment (repealing prohibition, 1933).
    Regardless of the method of proposing an amendment, final ratification requires approval by three-fourths of the states.
    Today Article Five places only one limit on the amending power: no amendment may deprive a state of equal representation in the Senate without that state's consent. The original Article V included other limits on the amending power regarding slavery and taxation; however, these limits expired in 1808.

    It wont pass yet. Its gonna take time to build up enough psychotic left wing support. The very fact that theyve started is scary enough.

    It has been tried a number of times. This isn't the first.

  8. Hardly a unique move, by the Obama crowd, to take over the US goverment.
