JOINT RESOLUTION

What do you think of this? I think this is an awful attempt on our Constitution.
If you actually look at the requirements for President, there really aren't many, why do we need to change them.
That amendment is in place to avoid a dictatorship.
Don't you think abolishing term limits for President sound familiar?
If this is what you want, you can move to Venezuela and enjoy a life with Chavez.

Your right when you say nobody is talking about this. I hadn't heard anything about it. i don't know what the purpose of such an amendment would be. We will never have a perfect president. I think it's good to get new blood in the white house as often as possible. As big as this country is I don't think we will ever run out of qualified candidates for president.

Hey - thanks for posting this. I had not heard of it either.
When these politicians start doing "sneaky" things behind the scenes, that just gripes me!
I believe we should have all bills and any suggestions for changes be completely out in the open for the public's awareness.
Thanks again for the info in your post.

I forgot to add something.
If this had been done by a republican while Bush was in office, we would have heard people squealing like pigs and barking like dogs.
What a stink they would have created.

I posted on this a little while ago, didn't get much response either. Although this doesn't have much support in congress, with a large number of dominantly democratic state legislatures, if by some mirical it gets through congress, it may actually pass the minimum state's vote requirements.
I guess people are pisssed, just not quite pisssed enough yet.
