Rush Limbaugh is suggesting that President Barack Obama and his political operatives already are laying the groundwork for a third term.
“You have to wonder if Obama is just trying to lay a foundation for not being a hypocrite when he tries to serve beyond 2016,” Limbaugh told his national radio audience. “I wouldn’t be at all surprised if in the next number of years there is a move on the 22nd Amendment.”
Limbaugh has a point.
Upon Obama’s taking office, Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y., introduced legislation in the House to repeal the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which limits presidents to two consecutive terms or 10 years in office. Serrano’s justification for the bill is that, until 1951, nothing prevented a president from serving more than two terms.
