[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] [i]"And they have two years, why not try to change the Constitution so their butt-boy can stay in office?"[/i] Because it took 7 to 10 years for any sort of ratification element on the ERA & that failed miserably due to time-limited ratifications, rescinding of ratifications, & partial legislature ratifications. And that was just so: [i]SECTION 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. "SEC. 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.[/i] You think they'll move that swiftly for a destruction of term limits in this climate? HULLZ NAW. Also, new amendments don't take immediate effect; there's usually a designated start point, as seen (again) by the ERA: [i]"SEC. 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification."[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
