From Rage Against the Media! READ THIS!!!!! Why is the press silent. You would think they would be all over this HJ 25. With the hundreds of supposed journalists that stalk the government (not doing their jobs of honest reporting) you would think that the Obama Propaganda Machine that is ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN would be all over this screaming what a good idea it is. It is time for a massive writing campaign to stop this and to get the word out to as many people as possible to stop it in its tracks. The so called news media is NOT going to tell the story until it is history. H.J.Res. 15 proposes repealing presidential term limits. Rep. Serrano (D-NY), the resolutions sponsor, has proposed similar legislation in every congressional session since 1997 --- during the tenure of presidents from both parties. None of the resolutions has ever made it to a floor vote. The joint resolution seeks to repeal the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which sets a term limit for election to the office of President of the United States. A joint resolution is one way to start the process of amending the U.S. Constitution. The 22nd Amendment, passed by Congress in 1947 and ratified by three-fourths of the states in 1951, prohibits individuals from being elected to the office of the President more than twice or from being elected President more than once if they have already served as President for more than two years. Attempts to repeal the 22nd Amendment date at least to 1986, when Rep. Guy Vander Jagt (R-MI) proposed legislation in the House that would allow President Ronald Reagan to seek a third term. Rep. Vander Jagt reintroduced legislation to remove the term limits on the presidency in 1987, 1989 and 1991, as did a number of Congressmen throughout the 1990s. Corresponding resolutions were proposed in the Senate by Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) in 1989 and by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in 1995. While there is a weak correlation between the party of the President and the party of the Member of Congress proposing to repeal the amendment, Rep. Serrano introduced the same resolution under Presidents Clinton (D), Bush (R) and Obama (D). Emails to Rep. Serranos communications director were not returned. https://govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/hjres15#summary/oursummary
