not sure what Rep Serrano is thinking, but I sure DON'T like this idea.

and it was proposed January 6, 2009

Imagine if Bush was still in...how the hell could he be gotten rid of?

just not a good idea
 
This comes up every few years. Last time was 2005, I believe. Never goes anywhere.
 
BTW... "King Obama"? At least "King George" made sense. But then again, I suppose this is an admission that Obama inherits the dictatorial powers for the executive branch that the Bush administration worked so hard to put in place.
 
We don't have term limits in the UK but I believe we should. Then again, our system of so-called democracy has a lot more wrong with it than term limits.
