Nice. Good to know.  Do you think 3/4 of the State Legislatures will pass it? Not likely, IMHO.

Did you know that if the States call for an amendment, a Constitutional Convention is convened, and the whole Constitution is fair game? It's conceivable the 2nd could be struck down or amended. All changes must still be ratified by 3/4 state leg approval, not likely, but there it is.

It would be a hard sell, even if he were the MESSIAH.

They (Dems) really believe Obama is the next FDR, huh? It's interesting the two presidents Obama is most compared to happen to have periods in their presidencies where they were virtual dictators- FDR and Lincoln. The only way Obama will get that coveted title is he will have start another world war (possible) or cause another civil war (also possible)......

I just wrote my congressman (Wexler-Dem), who is on the committee, stating what a waste of time this is and to kill it.  Of course he just bought a condo in-state so he can legally represent me!

The only way Obama will get relected is if:

The GOP throws out another DOA canadent  *cough* McCain *cough*

I thought that was why our government was set up the way it was... to limit "abuses of power." We don't need a dictator..

That is true the only problem is that most politicians are so crooked anymore that something like swinging a 3/4 vote can be done.

There, fixed it for you  ;D
