Term limits for POTUS

[fireman76]

How soon do you think the term limit of 2 terms as POTUS will be abolished?

 

[LEaSH]

Not in my lifetime.

There will be "talk" about it over the next 3 years because we just cant move FORWARD without the Anointed one....
There will be pundit talk about it as we get closer to 2016, but I think (Hope?) it will go no further than that...

If Obama has his way, it will end this year, when he declares himself emperor.

 

[Grizhicks]

There is not enough time to get it done for him (thank goodness); the process takes:
(1) 2/3th approval by both House and Senate (or a constitutional convention called by 2/3ths of the states (34 states); and
(2) must be ratified by 3/4ths of the states (38 states)

The numbers are not there, and the process takes a while.

 

[eldirector]

It has been proposed several times over the last few decades. Never gets out of committee.

I don't see it happening.... legally.

Yep.

 

[findingZzero]

I thought this was gonna be about limiting to one term. Wow! If yer right we could have a royal weddings. 2

I would support a 1 term limit for POTUS.

This country has been blessed with some truly beloved presidents. Obama isn't one of them. Like most presidents since, let's say Carter; roughly half of americans like the POTUS and half don't.

That's a far cry from the days where presidents were true icons. FDR, JFK and the like.

There's no third term ahead for Obama.

 

[HoughMade]

JFK barely won election. He won the popular vote by .1%....not 1 %, point 1 percent. He is an icon as a martyr.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

I would support a 1 term limit for POTUS.

1 6-year term... That's my vote.

 

[VERT]

1 6-year term... That's my vote.

Seconded. Send it committee.

Believe it or not, but liberals are already gearing-up for a Hillary run in 2016. Many think her potential run is the main reason for the slobbery 60 Minutes interview this last weekend...

Obama has a cult following. Unfortunately, a good percentage of the country absolutely loves him. FDR was the closest America has ever been to having a dictator. He did whatever the hell he wanted, and he is the reason that we now have term limits, because he was elected 4 times.

There's always a false flag followed by Martial Law.

 

[IndyDave1776]

The same joker has been introducing a repeal of the two-term limit every other year like clockwork for ages. It never gains traction and likely never will. Most people are wise enough to realize that while they may get a popular guy, it could just as easily go the other way leaving us with someone with no respect for a very wise tradition instituted by Washington such that we could have another FDR take time limited only by death in his efforts working toward the death of the republic. We still haven't recovered from that and likely it will eventually destroy the nation.

I would never vote for Hillary and have even more reason now. Her saying, "What difference does it make anyway" is it.
