At one time, it was said, that ObamaCare would never pass the house............
If one doesn't try, one will never succeed.
And these Democrats are trying every thing they can, don't be so sure that on Christmas eve, 2014, Harry Reid, doesn't introduce a bill, that he's deemed passed by the House, that eliminates term limits for the presidency of the United States.
Bill Introduced to Change Term Limits for President
January 5, 2013 by admin 2 Comments
While the country was discussing the Fiscal Cliff, guns, and Hurricane Sandy, a new bill was introduced in Congress on Friday.
Representative Jose Serrano (D-NY 15) put forth a bill, now called H.J. Res. 15″, that proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.
According to GovTrack, it was then [r]eferred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. Further, [t]his resolution was assigned to a congressional committee on January 4, 2013, which will consider it before possibly sending it on to the House or Senate as a whole.
So here we have one of the first bills introduced in the new Congressional session, which proposes removing term limits for the Presidency. Time to pay attention!
You can go to Govtrack and sign up for free to track this and other legislation.
Here is the Congressional page for Rep. Jose Serrano if you wish to contact him.
While this type of bill has been introduced in the past by Serrano (in 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 [HJR 5] and 2011 [HJR 17]), the difference now is that Obama is in his second term of office and is not running for re-e******n anymore. He has less to worry about.
UPDATE: Serrano also submitted a bill on Friday that amends the Social Security Act and proof of citizenship
