The Competent Conservative

This news coming out about the House Judiciary seeking to Repeal the 22nd Amendment should be alarming to all Americans who have sought to uphold the principles in the Constitution(i.e.- a balance of power), since it was designed for the rights and protection of the people from Tyranny in our US Government.

Here is an open Congress summery:

H.J.Res. 5 is a Constitutional amendment to remove the limit on the number of terms one may serve as President. It effectively would repeal the 22nd Amendment, which was approved by Congress in 1947 and ratified by the states in 1951. Over the past six congressional sessions, several members of Congress have introduced similar legislation, including Sen. Harry Reid in 1989 ( S.J.Res. 36). As is likely the case in the 111th Congress, the resolutions have never proceeded out of committee. Furthermore, given its past history, it is not likely that such resolutions have been or are currently tied to any specific presidential session.

Although in these resolutions have never “proceeded out of committee,” and that “given its past history, it is not likely that such resolutions have been or are currently tied to any specific presidential session”,  I fear that with the glamour surrounding Obama, this could be something rather frightening to those of us who love the way the Constitution is -the way God gave it to us through the hands of wise and inspired men.
