    No more Presidential Term Limits

    http://twitchy.com/2013/01/05/rep-jo...al-term-limit/

    We?re still a couple of weeks from the inauguration, but Rep. Jose Serrano (D-N.Y.) is already looking forward to 2016 and beyond. The congressman yesterday reintroduced a bill to repeal the 22nd amendment establishing term limits for the president.

      The best thing for the country would be to amend the amendment down to ONE term and then make it the same for Representatives and Senators.

      Don't let any of them stay in Washington more than one term.

          Right on. I'm so sick of seeing career politicians. It shouldn't be a career choice.

                  I'm curious if he felt the same way in 2003.

                          110% agree with that.

                              I think a 12 year limit would be more reasonable.

                              We need them to have some experience and continuity to pass on to the incoming freshmen because if they were all new, nobody would know how to accomplish anything and nothing would get done unless forced by extreme influences which are mostly to the detriment of the average citizen.

                              But, I agree that public service should be a service and not a career.

                                  Or at the very least make it so the two terms cannot be consecutive. That way a President's first term isn't so focused on the re-election, but more on leaving a legacy that would lend itself to another term down the road.

                                          I did a little digging into this.
                                          This same guy has brought this same legislation to the floor every two years like clock work since at least 1997. I didn't dig any further back.
                                          So it's not an Obama thing it's a Hispanic Representative that wants a dictatorship.
                                          Introduced in 97, 99, 01, 03, 05, 07, 09, 11, and 2013

                                              8 years is too short. 12 or 16 is more like it. I wish Clinton was able to stay in office longer.

                                                  But it carries significance this time because all the morons that want Obama to be president for life.
                                                  Obama doesn't need an amendment to the Constitution, he'll just whip out his pen, sign an Executive Order and waalaa president for life, make that dictator for life!

                                                                          As it is now...they are CONSTANTLY running for re-election and afraid to do anything that would actually help the country because they are scared of getting voted out.

                                                                          George Washington served ONE term and went home. He said he had no desire to be a King.

                                                                          That's the way it should be.

                                                                          The House of Representatives is the worst of the bunch. They just got elected...and now they are already laying down the groundwork for their campaigns in 2014 (for 2015).
                                                                          It's ridiculous.

                                                                                                                          I'm on record as saying that 98%-99% of our elected office holders are corrupt shills, but one-and-done noobs isn't the answer either.

                                                                                                                          IMO, the best first step is getting the Citizens United ruling overturned. If you don't know what that is, please look it up. It officially changed our form of government from a constitutional republic to a plutocracy.

People have to have experience to be effective. I think they should remain in power as long as they are doing a great job - more like any company. And remain there knowing they can be shown the door at any time. No business can function by cycling in a new executives crew every few years and then keep the business on track for the long term.

But right now...those federal spots are being held by career politician/millionaire lawyers posing as Senators and Congressmen.

                                                                                                                                  I don't think that what they do is rocket science. You and I could get in there with a staff and work with their transition team and be plenty up to speed to be able to cast our votes in the Senate or House.

Serve one term and you're gone. If that's the case, Washington, Jefferson and Madison all missed or ignored the memo.

                                                                                                                                          Don't let any of them stay in Washington more than one term.

I understands politicians with more then 1 term have too much power, but at the same time. In many cases it is difficult for anyone to get something done in 1 term. I by no means accept the job Obama is doing, but at the same time, how do you fix what Bush did in 4 years? That time went by in the snap of a finger.

                                                                                                                                                              I lost my business and damn near my house because of what happened in the US economy.

                                                                                                                                                              I know damn well what happened and when. For you to spout your condescending remarks like usual does nothing to add to this discussion.
                                                                                                                                                              I'm sorry for what happened to you. Sincerely. Soooo many innocent people got fucked in that catastrophe.

                                                                                                                                                              but for you to make comments like "Everything took a shit in the last couple of months of his last term because of laws signed in the 90's.", shows you really don't know the whole story.

                                                                                                                                                              For a starting point, I recommend you watch the documentary Inside Job. Once you do, you won't be blaming one political party or another for what happened. You'll be thoroughly pissed at both for what's happened over the last 30+ years.

                                                                                                                                                              It all happened on a level above politics. Please watch it.

Without the pressure of reelection, they're less likely to give in to bribes - BUT that wouldn't stop them from fucking us over in exchange for cushy industry jobs when they get out - so that would have to be addressed.

                                                                                                                                                                              Term limits won't change this. Taking the money out of politics, starting with the repeal of Citizen's United, is pretty much our only hope.

                                                                                                                                                                                  For a starting point, I recommend you watch the documentary Inside Job. Once you do, you won't be blaming one political party or another for what happened. You'll be thoroughly pissed at both for what's happened over the last 30+ years.

                                                                                                                                                                                  It all happened on a level above politics. Please watch it.
                                                                                                                                                                                  I will take time to watch that.

I understands politicians with more then 1 term have too much power, but at the same time. In many cases it is difficult for anyone to get something done in 1 term. I by no means accept the job Obama is doing, but at the same time, how do you fix what Bush did in 4 years? That time went by in the snap of a finger.

Shame we don't have them on congress. They are needed desperately.

There is a reason we don't allow it for over 8yrs.
