The 22nd Amendment. It's not going to change any time soon, if ever.

Of course there is another 4 years of performance on the job that would factor in, and who knows who else might be running as an alternative. What is clear is that I will be voting for the Dem, as I have never voted for the Rep.

Ain't gonna happen anyway, the constitution would have to be ammended to allow it, and if we are going to go to all the effort of ammending the constitution, there are many other things I would do first.
