Weblog Entry for 12 April 2003

Someone doesn’t have much faith in the current crop of Democratic presidential hopefuls.

House Joint Resolution 11, introduced this past January:

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.

My first thought: Some goofy GOPster setting things up for a third Dubya administration. Then I looked the guy who introduced it, and it turned out to be José Serrano (warning: website looks like bodega awning), Democrat from NY’s 16th district in the Bronx, who just won his seventh term with 92% of the vote, and presumably has no need to appeal to Dubya-lovers. Weird, I thought, till I realized that if the 22nd Amendment got repealed quickly enough (yeah, right) Clinton could run against Dubya in ’04.
