3 or 4 Terms for Barack Obama?

Three Terms for Barack Obama? - Political Machine

Quote:

With President-elect Barack Obama set to take the oath of office to begin his first term, one New York Congressman wants to make it possible for him to one day serve a third. Representative Jose Serrano (D) has introduced a bill in the House to abolish the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which limits presidents to two consecutive terms or ten years in office.

Until 1951, there was nothing preventing a president from seeing election for more than two terms. But all presidents prior to Franklin Delano Roosevelt honored a tradition begun by George Washington and served only two consecutive terms. Roosevelt stood for election for an unprecedented third term at the dawn of World War II and was elected to a fourth, only to die in office within months of his inauguration. He is the only American president to serve more than two term

Ugh that's a scary thought to me. Not because it's Obama, I would be saying that about just about any candidate. To me it's just a bad idea not to have term limits.

Agree 100%.
That's going the wrong way. Two terma for Senators as well and maybe four for Reps.

He'll be lucky to make it to the end of his 1st term. 2nd term will not happen. He will be the fallguy for 30+ years of Reagonomics. When the Dow hits 4000, they'll be calling for his head on a spit.
