IT BEGINS! Presidential Term Limits Going To Be Trashed?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Professor Zimmerman

The push is on to get Obama a third term… the narrative is being constructed now for a referendum question on the next ballot… if they can get enough steam behind it.

 ”The time has come to end presidential term limits, because continuing the restrictions on how long one can serve in the country’s highest office is bad for the United States,”claims Jonathan Zimmerman a history and education professor at New York University

In an opinion story published in the Washington Post,  Zimmerman says deciding whether a president deserves a third, fourth or more terms should be left entirely to the American people. He says the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which placed a two-term limit on the position, should not be the deciding factor on a President’s term.

Below is a portion of the 22nd Amendment ratified in 1951:

“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”
The amendment came into being a few years after Franklin Roosevelt was elected to the fourth of his White House terms. Known to Americans as the president during the final years of the Great Depression and most of World War II, Roosevelt, a Democrat, died in office before completing his last term. After the war, Republicans made a successful bid to install a two-term maximum for future presidents. But, according to Zimmerman, they limited not only the president’s time in office, but also “democracy itself.”

 Unbelievably, Zimmerman went on to declare,  that since President Obama’s job-approval numbers are now down drastically, it could be that the nation’s chief executive is  being held down by the fact that he’s in his final term. This factor, he claims, gives GOP opponents and even Democrat opponents little incentive to support Obama on issues that might hamper their own re-election chances.

In that Washington Post Article, Zimmerman writes –

“Many of Obama’s fellow Democrats have distanced themselves from the reform and from the president. Even former president Bill Clinton has said that Americans should be allowed to keep the health insurance they have. Or consider the reaction to the Iran nuclear deal. Regardless of his political approval ratings, Obama could expect Republican senators such as Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and John McCain (Ariz.) to attack the agreement. But if Obama could run again, would he be facing such fervent objections from Sens. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Robert Menendez (D-N.J.)? Probably not. Democratic lawmakers would worry about provoking the wrath of a president who could be reelected. Thanks to term limits, though, they’ve got little to fear.”

Zimmerman continues in the piece, “Nor does Obama have to fear the voters, which might be the scariest problem of all. If he chooses, he could simply ignore their will. And if the people wanted him to serve another term, why shouldn’t they be allowed to award him one?”

WHAT DO YOU THINK?  Do you prefer to have presidential term limits? Would you rather a president be able to run as many times as they want?  Leave your comments below.

      There is nothing more dangerous than a two-term president. A third-term Obummer would be the end of Humanity!

      • Boxed in Freight

        Obama couldn’t be elected as a sanitary engineer (poop scooper) now. :lol: :lol: :lol:

        • AmericanDS

          Only thing is, he wasn’t “elected” last time. He was placed. If the term-limit thing passes we are in deep sh|7! We’ll never get him outta there!

    • energymight

      That would be like riding on a merry go round that makes you super sick and you are not allowed to get off until the operator says time is up. In this case we know the operator is the fake electorate elite. F%^* this idea Zimmerman – go back to your liberal hole where someone put you for a reason!!

      • energymight

        And another point – Zimmerman you are only a “useful idiot!” Useful Idiots are always disposed of first when their dictator gets full rein and grip on a country…by their beloved leader. you know too much and are just a hassle. Enjoy.

        • Apollo is the A/C

          Seems like every crazy has the last name Zimmerman!!!!

      Liberal goon from New York University likes living under Dictator.

      Kim Jong Un is has lifetime term.

      Old England had King Queen.

      Liberal Goon from New York likes Dictator.

      • crabby

        wait until it’s bush’s other son .. Jeb Jong Un..

      • Freeamerican

        The ‘liberal’ meme is to distract from the jwo. All the scums in government, scum republicans and tea party fake pretending to be conservative work for the JWO. That’s why they are protecting forty million illegals and refuse to de-fund the health bill scheme even though they can. The fake lib/conservative fake republican/democrat memes are bunk distraction, they all work for the tribe thezog.wordpress.com so would any new fakes that pretend to be leaders. JWO. Quit voting.

        • Mirabolin

          There is a proper term for this ‘Jew World Order’: ‘Gentiles’ (i.e. You).

        • lindarosemary

          You are woefully ignorant. Republicans only dominate the house, not the senate. Democrats dominate the senate. Republicans have passed many bills in the house which the Harry Reid in the Senate has disallowed from even being presented on the floor, or if they do make it to the floor they are voted down. Sober up my friend, so you wil be ready for the real SHTF .

    • Greenfire

      If one truly believes in the electoral system in place in corporate United States, the 22nd amendment would, in reality, be rendered moot. However, as long as an elite minority can make decisions for and legislate every facet of every citizen’s life under the guise of democracy, a known failed system to begin with, no one will ever be satisfied except those that are in authority.

      The argument should be framed as as return to the republic or continue this slow death spiral into totalitarianism…

    • BinaryRecoil

      The child (zimmerman) has a right to express himself and speak freely.
      That being said, I have a right to Bare Arms for defense of my life. As it stands, Obama himself has proven to be a threat to my life & the lives of everyone around me. So if it is that I hear someone say this out loud, instead of read it online, I’ll consider it an immediate death threat & take proper counter measures within the legal boundaries of the legal definitions of the words the law itself is written of- without hesitation.

      If anyone gets to be “King” of the USA, I want that title so I can actually fix what’s been broken for the aims of turning this place into an absolute Totalitarian Regime. (Where a “King” is exactly what a 3rd term Obama- or any 3rd term Democrat or Republican, will be.)

    • greyfox

      This has been coming, it was changed once and can be again. All Govt needs is for someone to start the ball rolling, which miracaculosly sp, they always manage to find.

    • MAJ-12/SM420

      No. absolutely not. Un-American, un-Patriotic, un-stable and un-wanted. Here we are in the WORST shape this country has EVER been and we want to give the very person the opportunity to finish his demonic plans? Nope. Will not happen. And if it does? Then we will know the truth…ALL of us. Even the idiots still supporting him and those employed by his administration will FINALLY get it. By that time? too late. Sorry elite but, try a different angle.

    • capoprimo

      Any effort to have a third term would lead to violence and mayhem in the streets by at least 51% of the population.

    • amoeba

      To find the essence of stupidity, you have to go to “higher education”. Kinda suggest why so many people have degrees, but there are so few people around who know much of anything. This “professor of education” embodies the description of someone who has been “Educated into Imbeclilty”. Sure, give a constitution-shredding psychopath four more years to play tyrant; great plan. Only a pure commie elitist would like what Obama has been doing and want more, and they mostly can be found teaching mind rot at colleges around the country. Instead of exporting our jobs, why don’t we export guys like this to China?

      • Freeamerican

        The communism plot is jewish, they run America, Marx real name Mordechai. Obama’s jew http://www.subvertednation.net/is-obama-jewish/ same as bankers, big company owners, media owners. thezog.wordpress.com Exporting Obama wouldn’t change anything. The republican scum communists also work for the jwo. That’s why they’re swarming in legal immigrants to get on on welfare and protecting forty million illegals and refused to de-fund the communist health bill scheme even though they can. To stop them means taking the jews in control and every scum in government and media, jew global company owners and putting them in prison and cutting off Israel. Protest immigration, quit buying things, quit voting. Obama’s no different than any other president for the jwo. http://www.thebirdman.org/Index/Others/Others-Doc-Jews/+Doc-Jews-National&InternationalConspiracy&NWO/ExplainingWW2-Stalin,Roosevelt,Eisenhower&ChurchillAllJews.htm
        “We Jews have put issue upon issue to the American people. Then we promote both sides of the issue as confusion reigns. With their eye’s fixed on the issues, they fail to see who is behind every scene. We Jews toy with the American public as a cat toys with a mouse…”

        Roosevelt was our man; every president since Roosevelt has been our man.”– jew Harold Rosenthal

        • CarolAnn

          I rarely call anyone a moron, but I think you have merited that name.

          Obamamullah was born and raised as a Muslim. Even the church he went to for 20-some years had a pastor, the Rev. Wright., who hates the U.S., white people, Jews and Israel, would barely pass for a church, but was enough for Obamamullah to pretend he was Christian enough to run for president and that the Muslim rumors were the products of ignorance.

          Unfortunately, the Muslim rumors were not untrue. Virtually EVERYTHING Obamamullah has done since he has been in his orifice has been to advance the agenda of ISLAM.

          And if you don’t know it, Freeamerican Moron, Islam has as its goal to destroy every last Jew first, and then come for every last Christian and put the entire world under the RULE OF SHARIA.

          You can quote something from 1932, but it has little to do with what is happening in the 21st century. There are well-educated liberal Jews who have been utterly DUPED by this evil bastard. What other American president has bowed to a Saudi king, made “empowering Muslims the goal of his NASA program, backed the Muslim Brotherhood’s Morsi to preside over an Islamist Egypt and given it all sorts of warcraft so that it could defeat Israel? What other president has said, “I will stand with the Muslims.” What other president made his first trip out of the country to Islamic countries? What other American president claims that his BEST FRIEND is Turkey’s Islamist Erdogan, and to whom Obama has written several letters asking for advise on how to raise his daughters.

          Now he wants to make sure that Iran goes nuclear, while Turkey and Iran are coming together to create an Islamic super-bloc.

          The DOJ takes the side of every Muslim that has a complaint and ignores any actual anti-Semitic attacks.

          You are an ignorant, moronic racist. Open your eyes and see where this guy is really leading us. He has claimed — before running for president — that he was a Muslim. And that’s where we’re going. He is planning to let in 500,000 Syrian MUSLIMS into this country and has allowed foreign nationals to come in and building astoundingly huge mosques in areas where there ARE NO Muslims. Where are the mosques going to get their followers.

          Immigration. It’s all about getting the maximum number of Islamic immigrants into this country to take over. That’s where it’s going. And you better wake up and see this, or you’re going to be helping, like the Jewish libtards who don’t want to see it.

      DICTATORSHIP

    • zonkedout1

      I believe that any executive in the united states should operate under the Sword of Damocles. Any time popularity drops below 50%, the head comes off. That way, there would be no president last longer than 6 mo. and government wouldn’t get anything done. For our society to succeed, government interference would have to be scaled back drastically for the sake of establishing an equilibrium. :evil:

    • Bohunk

      What Zimmerman is proposing is the creation of Dynastic dictatorial rule for America. We do not need nor can our democracy ill afford to go back to the rule of tyrant royal like the one our forefathers struggled to be free of. NO, NO third term for Obama!

    • tatoguapo

      Reality check- even if the term limit law was changed, it would not be retroactive.

      • PPSIMMONS

        Reality check – the term limits can (only) be changed via a constitutional amendment during a federal election. The next federal election is in 2014. If the amendment passes Obama could serve unlimited terms… and be king!

    • Global Grist

      When Clinton was President someone I was discussing the NWO with told me his sister had worked for a super wealthy man in Los Angeles who forecasted to her the next several
      Presidents by characteristics. This was when Carter was President.

      His sister was told that the next President would be an actor (Reagan), the one after him
      would be a kind of lackluster type (Bush I), the next one would be a disgrace to the office
      (Clinton), the next one would be a dopey, bumbler (Bush II), and the one following him would
      be President for LIFE. (Fair elections, or established selections?)

      Whether by hook or by crook, I guess we’ll know in the near future.
      If we had an honest election process Obama would have been out of there the last time.
      Since we now have hackable electronic voting machines in most areas, there is no
      verifiable accounting of votes which makes term limits a must.
      That being said, if the Amendment is not overturned look for an “event” that could
      suspend the next election.

    • Global Rumblings

      Take a look at the other countries that had ‘president for life’ in place. They were/are in dire straits.. poverty, little freedom, shortages of even food! We the people don’t want to go that route, even if Obummer and his puppet masters do.

    • tam4grace

      Too many lies, too many broken promises, too many paid shills, too much tyranny. Why would anyone want this man for a third term?

No wonder your laughing. Please take it down it is so offensive on so many levels. I like you but the story has to go.

    • Awabnavi

      Two term presidency is not true democracy, its MANAGED DEMOCRACY. People should be able to elect their leaders as they pleased. This would be TRUE DEMOCRACY.

    • Ghost

      AGREED…

      US Constitution
      Amendment XXII
      1: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice

      Why is anyone even talking about such illiteracy put out by another Murdoch FOX fake news source like WaPo? Murdoch has turned that into the DC Enquirer of Yellow Journalism
      Do some fact checking — ESPECIALLY with that incompetent bunch of presstitutes at Murdoch, WaPo, FOX!

      The only way to remain president, and this has been decades ago now when it first came up,
      and I’m not sure that it’s still in effect…. Emergency War Powers could allow a president to stay in office if there is an ongoing declared war.. But this has never been used or challenged in court.. and probably wouldn’t get past a court as lawful..

      • Lafanda

        Never been used , but do you think it can be used , because *** war can be manufactured by a massive False Flag Operation *** the courts are under control by the administration . NSA took care of that ( all the top judges dirty linen and slash fund ) . You reckon it’s possible or to much speculation … Emergency War Power you mentioned .

    • REMAINFREE

      This Prof Zimmerman is not entirely wrong with his opinion, but unfortunately the voting system is so corrupt that there will never be a fair election where actual qualified living-breathing citizens are counted and not munipulated/changed or otherwise to effect the outcome that is desired by the elitists who are in control.

      Besides, both parties are controlled by these same elite. There may be a handful of politicians out there that want what’s BEST for the country and people THEY work for, but by in large, we always end up voting for the same crap.

      Why do you think they always frown upon a third party,….aka Tea Party, Independents etc….because it would throw a monkey wrench in their plans.

    • Leo

      We all knew this was coming . I heard rumor that Obama would be the last President America would have . meaning NO MORE Presidents only a Marxist Communist leader named Obama . The Republic is gone .

      Its really disgusting how blind & willingly ignorant so many sheeple are. I know some folks who love our pres like he is without blemish & still blame everything crooked about him on Bush. Sure, they are ALL puppets, but this guy has manipulated the heart strings of the lost into buying his illuminati program as a smiling heard of cattle skipping along to their slaughter. Another term, why not? Satans belly is still growling for more!

    • Zerodown32

      Politics were never meant to be a career, just like Government Servants were never meant to exclude themselves from the laws passed for the population. Lets face it: career politicians are allowed insider trading, platinum health care and golden retirement all at our expense. BULLSHIT. In my view, genuine leadership needs be continuously cycled back into the general population as an invaluable resource for that population to help insure we all remain knowledgeably engaged to responsible politics and government .

    • TimeSprocket

      Trash term limits?! With this lame-duck in office that would most certainly be the end of our freedoms (that are already in jeopardy), this can’t happen it would only benefit the puppet masters. Boy if I performed my job the way SlimeBama does I would have been fired a long time ago! He keeps playing that ‘get out of jail free’ card without any repercussions

      The whole system needs to be erased and replaced it no longer works, nothing works anymore! I don’t think it ever did. But CrimeBama has brought that fact to light without question.

    • Onegai

      Low poll numbers would presumably indicate a very poor job performance. Either this man was paid to shill for a third term or tenure is a neurological dysfunction, in which case Zimmerman needs a doctor. Fast. And I would definitely vote NO, many times! I have a lot of dead relatives and they would all vote too! (Take that, ACORN!) :evil:

      Obama is an evil no good liar and has abused the office to which he never should have been in. No change in term limits. Would like to see Obama and his seed of evil in the whitehouse destroyed.

      Since they can now fix elections, I’d suspect they want this to make it easier to ensure a compliant puppet government. Also they have achieved an unprecedented level of sheer stupidity in the American electorate.

      Sounds like someone is ready to have a king to rule all the lands. What would you do if you lived under a constitutional republic? Would you keep it or would you give it away? I know corporatist America is a pseudo constitutional republic now days but what if we went back to the constitution that worked so well before?

      In the end it doesn’t matter, if you can reconcile your conscious at the end of the day. Bring on the Anti-Christ let’s rock and roll.

      Some thoughts… “The push is on” to give Obama a third term–God forbid! He’s done enough damage already only halfway through his second term. It would not surprise me if all his cronies do make a concerted effort to extend his fraudulent presidency, and if they don’t succeed, for Obama to declare martial law and declare himself king for life.

      Two-term limit holding Obama down? I hardly think so. He’s gone hog wild in his quest to bring in socialised health care, and his issuance of hundreds of executive orders taking control of the entire panorama of the nation’s resources from agriculture to transportation and beyond. What more is he going to try to do to destroy this nation while he still has time?

      Obamacare: Some are calling it a train wreck. I disagree. It is not a train wreck, it is a Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear meltdown. Train wrecks affect only the local area where they occur, even if they cause a disastrous fire, and can usually be cleaned up in a matter of days or weeks. The Fukushima meltdown is poisoning and destroying the entire pacific ocean. A traveler, having recently sailed across the Pacific from Japan to the USA, stated that for 3000 miles out of Japan he saw NO life whatsoever in the ocean. No fish, no sharks, no birds, no nothing. And Fukushima is still discharging hundreds of thousands of tons of radioactive waste into the Pacific every day. Once that is stopped it will take hundreds if not thousands of years for the Pacific to recover, if it ever does. Likewise if Obamacare is not repealed, it is going to destroy this nation, financially at least, if not in many other ways, and it may never recover from it.

    • bustedbowl

      voting??…has it ever worked in the peoples favor?

      voting is an illusion…so is freedom and ownership…everything you know is a lie!

      This is an oligarchy
      Throughout history, oligarchies have been tyrannical (relying on public obedience and/or oppression to exist) or relatively benign. Aristotle pioneered the use of the term as a synonym for rule by the rich,[4] for which the exact term is plutocracy. However, oligarchy is not always a rule by wealth, as oligarchs can simply be a privileged group, and do not have to be connected by bloodlines as in a monarchy.

      voting??…has it ever worked in the peoples favor?

      voting is an illusion…so is freedom and ownership…everything you know is a lie!

      This is an oligarchy
      Throughout history, oligarchies have been tyrannical (relying on public obedience and/or oppression to exist) or relatively benign. Aristotle pioneered the use of the term as a synonym for rule by the rich,[4] for which the exact term is plutocracy. However, oligarchy is not always a rule by wealth, as oligarchs can simply be a privileged group, and do not have to be connected by bloodlines as in a monarchy.

      The democrat idiots have tried this many times throughout history.
      ” Rep. Serrano, although a Democrat, has introduced this same proposal to Congress every two years since 1997, a total of nine times, regardless of which party was in the White House. He introduced it four times while George W. Bush held the office. – See more at: http://thebirdcentral.com/2013/04/07/h-j-res-15-democrat-jose-serrano-proposed-an-amendment-to-repeal-term-limits-on-office-of-president/#sthash.NGmlKX6L.dpuf )

      They continue to subvert the Freedoms Americans have died to preserve. Why would it be an exception now.
      It would take (According to Section V, a majority in the House to pass it, and 2/3 of the Senators.
      No deal.

      God these people really are out of their friggin minds! They think they can just do as they want, who needs that pesky Constitution when you don’t like how it prevents you from furthering your agenda! We may not survive by the end of this term much less have him for a 3rd! Insane that he is President to begin with… :eek:

      You are ALL being fooled. Two terms – three– five –It doesn’t matter.
      Try to understand – they are ALL on the same path. I won’t matter who is elected, ALL of the electees have the same plan or they would not be where they are.

      The “establishment” made a mistake recently and let one slip by.
      His name was John and he was assassinated when it was discovered that he wished to change the plans. He wanted to end the Viet Nam conflict for one thing.
      The words of Lady Byrd Johnson still sound in my ears:
      “This man is not leaving Dallas alive.”
      I’ll bet she wishes nobody heard her say that – over and over again.
      There were many witnesses.

      Heaven help the U.S. if this occurred. Another term? PLEASE– NO NO NO

      Hell yeah, great idea in theory, but now politics being fueled by a fascist network of lobby groups, rigged diebold machines,a completely owned media that ignores Liberty minded candidates, this is the final nail for a Technocratic Fascist Dictatorship- Obama in reality should be in jail let alone a third term- talk about brash.

      Dear Professor Zimmerman,

      Those who can, do…those who can’t, become professors.

    • Ponderer

      Zimmerman You are a fool!!! I hope you reap your some of his healthcare edicts, for instance. How else can we get rid of a dictator?. Have some more Kool-Aid..you and your liberal ilk give professors a bad name.
