Amendment XXI <br>Section. 1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed. <br><br>If they can get the votes, and get the states to ratify, they can. It gets fuzzy though, becuase some amendments were enacted before state ratification; i.e. female suffrage. <p></p><i></i>

The 22nd Amendment<br> <br>Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term. <br><br>Section. 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress. <br><br> <p></p><i></i>

the way things are going, it's almost as if they can do any damn thing they please. I guess Arnie isn't looking so good as a presidential candidate after all. <br> <p></p><i></i>

[chiggerbit]

I don't get it. Why is a Dem introducing this one? Is he being blackmailed? I cannot imagine any other excuse. <p></p><i></i>

[PeterofLoneTree]

Maybe so Bill Clinton can run but since the Republicans own the voting machines and they're all rigged, what's the use? <p></p><i></i>

[feast of ineptitude]

another one to watch, a dem seeking universal military service:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h109-2723">www.govtrack.us/congress/...=h109-2723</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

Something I become more convinced of everyday: There is no difference between the democrats and republicans; when you complain about one, you may as well be complaining about the other. The republican-democrat rivalry is no more significant in importance than a baseball rivalry between two high schools that worship football. <p></p><i></i>
