#1 What kind of majority in each house he needs to repeal the 22nd---just trying to predict the coming mid-terms. Posted by g(r)om

It won't happen through the Congress g(r)om. If it happens, the entire US Constitution will have been set aside by some national emergency. Champ is tired, lazy, and FLOTUS hates D.C...... they want out of the mess. I don't see it happening with The Hildebeast moving toward the WH.

#2 What kind of majority in each house he needs to repeal the 22nd-

Constitutional amendments and their repeals require the consent of the states. In that part, it still is the United States of America.

The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States).

#4 B - Agree with the video 100% Creation date was listed as 2010...things have only gotten worse. Unfortunately - with the impending immigration - "We the People" are likely to be come "We the Minority".
Things that can't continue..won't and the upcoming civil unrest when the Gov't cheese runs out will be massive...and to the NSA guy monitoring this..hope you have your place in the bunker secured...you'll need it

#5 It's simple, he thinks he's the Parent, ad we're children.
We need to prove to him we're the adults, and he's the child, e needs to be spanked and told "Don't lie". (Or you'll get another, AND MEAN IT)

RJ, you are assuming the Cmdr. Zero would have a problem with a spanking....

#7 Champ is tired, lazy and appears an idiot every time he opens his mouth. However, appearances can be deceiving. If, as discussed, his goal is accumulation of power---he's doing very well. After all, does Mugabe care if Zimbabwe went from exporter of food to famine, as long as he remains the head man? Did Stalin, whom the rest of Politburo once considered a country bumpkin, care that ten of millions Russians died because he decimated the officer corp just before the war?

#9 You "Spank" Obama by restricting his priveledges, say by taking away Air Force One,

(Oh sorry, it's in for maintenance, the sequester, you know)

That's what hurts, take his privileges.

#10 ...A prediction: sometime before next spring you will see serious trial balloons coming out of major MSM outlets suggesting that we should take a look at repeal of the 22nd Amendment.

And if it happens, God help us all.

#11 Eyes wide open, NOT Eyes wide shut.

The good news for the Bammer is that in a democracy, it is said the people = voters get the kind of Govt. they deserve [directly or indirectly].

WELL THERE YA GO - NOTHING CAN BE THE BAMMER'S OR WASHINGTON'S FAULT E-V-A-R!
