constitutional amendment... but it won't happen. he's leaving... i've seen a bush "countdown" clock on some blogs... you can download it somewhere i'm sure. :)
Thanks for visiting my weblogs and I'm really glad you find them interesting.
Check this out from the New York Times today about repealing the 22nd amendment. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/05/opinion/05burns.html?th&emc=th [free registration required, if you don't have it.]
Seems that Congress has had quite a few motions on repeal, the last being February 2004. I'm not sure I can agree with all of the authors' arguments, but I find them interesting and food for serious thought. I would think long and hard if, rather than a 4 year term, it would include a vote of "no confidence" like in Britain. It certainly would do away with the circus that was impeachment a few years ago that held the country hostage. It would also be a great benefit today with the Abramoff and NSA spying events. Congress, rather than investigating, would have a leverage over the president and eliminate what the authors of the op-ed in the NYT termed "second termitis."
