El Presidente for Life?

  • With President-elect Barack Obama set to take the oath of office to begin his first term, one New York Congressman wants to make it possible for him to one day serve a third. Representative Jose Serrano (D) has introduced a bill in the House to abolish the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which limits presidents to two consecutive terms or ten years in office.

    The theory behind the 22nd Amendment is that modern day presidents exercise too much power and authority to be allowed access to it for very long.
