President for life?

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on April 13, 2003). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

This is the absolute last thing we need floating around Capitol Hill these days: House Joint Resolution 11, “Proposing 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.”

On the bright side, according to Tom Tomorrow, Rep. Serrano has been tossing this one out every so often for quite a while now. Of course, on the down side, if something this insane is going to pass, it’s a lot more likely in the current political climate. Creepy — very, very creepy.
