Repeal 22nd Amendment

Reelect George Bush to a third term so he can finish and win the War on Terror.

 

If its a worthwhile war, there is no need to re-elect Bush. The next president will carry on.

On the other hand, with no 22nd Amendment, we could re-elect Clinton and get back to a budget surplus.

 

Or how about instead of that we re-instate the 9th?

 

The elites will put someone else when Bush's time is up. Not because they care about the law, but because it's easier to change the person than to change the law and upset people just to keep one guy in when anyone else can be a puppet just as well as him.

And Mike, the next president will carry on the war, because it is worthwhile; to the reptilians. Not for the people, of the US or of Iraq.

 

Nalencer,
I think that the war in Iraq is wrong. I think that the war on terrorism is a scare tactic used by the Man to further His ends.

But, none of that is a good argument against repealing the 22nd Ammendment.
Even if the war on terror is a good thing, even if Bush is a good president, there is no need to repeal the 22nd Ammendment. Jim Colyer is more likely to see the error of repealing Ammd. 22, without demanding that he change his mind on Bush and the war on terror. (This assumes that J.C. is an honest disputant and not just a troll.)
I find life more fun if I don't disagree with people more than I have to.

Soulless||Chaos, Yes. Tenth too!

 

Oops, yeah I meant 9th and 10th.

 

Well, our president doesn't care about the 8th anyway. The 8th doesn't seem to apply to him.

 

I don't think he particularly cares about any of them.

I'm sorry, but are you kidding me?

 

Who needs a Constitution any more? All those negative Liberties.

 

The 22d amendment was enacted after FDR was president. What needs to happen is that it be amended to read that you can only serve one four year term period. That would mean that every four years we would get a new leader and would not have to worry about surviving 8 years with an idiot.

 

With the way people vote these days ("I wonder if he would be good to drink with", "We can be a part of history!") - this is definitely the best thought this thread has had.

 

And if we have a good president instead......?

 

One four year term is enough, good or bad. In an elected representative republic, professional politicians are unnecessary. And if they are limited to one term then they would not have thoughts of a "monarchy".

 

In some cases a four year term can be seen as too much. The needs of people across the nation are best served not by representatives in Washington, but by the representatives who live among them and are aware of, and more likely to be affected by the problems of those they represent. When the greatest power is held at the lowest levels of government, representatives are more directly accountable to their constituents and those who do not attend the needs of their constituents are more easily and quickly replaced.

 

In the context of the 22d Amendment it is the office of the president that is in question. The terms of the other elected officials should be restricted to one elected term without ever being able to be re-elected. That would then truly put the government back in the hands of the governed.

 

Oh jesus that would make government terrible.
