Can you hear me now? Should this President honestly be attacking the 22nd Amendment when many already see him a Foreign Dictator?

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


 

As I was looking over the numerous posts that fill Before it’s News I came across a title that caught my eye. 

It said “Obama “President For Life” Dictatorship In Progress”.  Having heard similar murmurings I decided to take a closer look…this is what I found.

It seems the Obama administration has taken a personal dislike of the 22nd Amendment and they seek to repeal it.

Here is the official Wiki version of the 22nd Amendment…full text I did not see any part one or anything to make me think that there could be more to it than this…but follow if you can.

Text

Section 1. 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. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

 

It seems that this is not the first time the amendment has been up for repeal.

 

According to historian Glenn W. LaFantasie (who was opposed to repealing the amendment) of Western Kentucky University, “ever since 1985, when Ronald Reagan was serving in his second term as president, there have been repeated attempts to repeal the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which limits each president to two terms.” In addition, several Democratic congressmen, including Rep. Barney Frank, Rep. José Serrano, Rep. Howard Berman, and Sen. Harry Reid, have introduced legislation to repeal the Twenty-second Amendment, but each resolution died before making it out of its respective committee. Other alterations have been proposed, including replacing the absolute two term limit with a limit of no more than two consecutive terms and giving Congress the power to grant a dispensation to a current or former president by way of a supermajority vote in both houses.

On January 4, 2013, Rep. José Serrano once again introduced H.J.Res. 15 proposing an Amendment to repeal the 22nd Amendment, as he has done every two years since 1997.

 

But the Wiki page is not all I found. I also found a Government listing stating exactly what they plan to do with H.J. 15…and it is not length of presidential term I am seeing but whether or not someone from another country can lead America.   

So tell me one thing…given the areas in which America have had the most issue would you not call those two the top?  In that case…should this man’s name be on the paper that kills our 22ndAmendment?
