Amendment XXII of the Constitution of the United States??

There appears to be a Constitutional Amendment proposal before the 109th Congress that, God help me - I hope I'm wrong, is calling for the repeal of Amendment XXII, the 22nd Amendment. That amendment reads:

Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once."

"What the fuck?" you ask. Well, I ask the same thing. I checked out THOMAS (Library of Congress), and the page appears to be valid.

Well, I suppose, according to a strict read or interpretation of Amendment XXII, it says "elected". We all know that the dubya cockroach was not elected. In 2000, he stole the election in Florida with the help of his brother, Cockroach Jeb, and the Supreme Court. In 2004, the cockroaches stole the election away from Ohio, with the help of his cockroach buddy, Blackwell. Grrrr............. So, if they admit to the mistakes of saying, "Well, we really didn't get 'elected', so we can go for a third term, and more..." Well, you get the drift.

But wait!! There's more...........

Click on the image above to bring it to it's full size, or just go to the White Wash, I mean House website, and see for yourself, that the date under this glorious new bust of the dubya cockroach says "2000 - ", with no end date. We all know that according to Amendment XXII, it should read "2000 - 2009", without question, in that by this article, the cockroach would be forced out of office in January 2009. Period. End of discussion. But, they left it blank. Do they really think they can get away with this? Really? Are Americans that bloody stupid? I sure hope not.
