Democrat Proposes to Eliminate 22nd Amendment

This recent proposal by a Democratic representative from New York would seek to eliminate the limit on the number of terms a president can serve. What do you think about this? Personally, I think this is a power grab by the Democrats to try and keep their "golden boy" Obama in power come 2016.

  • As far as I know, Canada still does not have term limits. We just hold elections every five years or so (earlier if absolutely necessary) and elect the party that we feel would do the best job. Whoever is leader of the party at the time isn't really important so long as people are willing to keep that person in office. For example, our longest serving Prime Minister, William Lyon Mackenzie King, was P.M. for 22 years. He did not hold office for those 22 years in succession, but he held onto the leadership of the Liberal party and simply became the P.M. when they won an election.
