Paranoia

So some paranoid people over at the Conspiracy Planet website have the uber-liberal lefties at Fark all in a tizzy over the report of a bill to repeal the 22nd Amendment.

So did they all skip civics class or something? Because they're all forgetting

  1. An amendment would have to be passed by a 2/3 vote in both houses of Congress and

  2. An amendment would have to be ratified by 3/4 of the states. Even if we round down, that's 37.

  3. Even if the amendment passes, elections would still be held every four years.

Apparently one of these bills pops up every once in a while. None of them have gone anywhere, and I doubt this one will do anything either.

Oh, and apparently four of the five sponsors are Democrats, leaving only one Republican.

Learn to read, people.
