Possible truth to April Fools

[4911]

Dont get me wrong, but when I read the thing about the lengthening of official presidential terms on April 1st, it wasnt new to me. Id read about that a few months before april 1st. It was even on a congressional website, as far as I remember , and as far as I remember, it wasnt a memo, it was a bill that congress planned to vote on in february 2006.<br><br>I lost track of it, but maybe someone else hasnt.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

So does this now mean that the joke is on us, twice? Is this official now, potus can have infinite terms if the uh people uh vote him? <p></p><i></i>

No. The amendment has not come up for a vote.<br>Besides, as it says in the text of the bill, the states have seven years to ratify , assuming that would happen.<br>I just find it incredible they are even trying. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=sunny@rigorousintuition>sunny</A> at: 4/3/06 8:41 am<br></i>
