U.S. Rep. José Serrano, the Democrat representing the Bronx, appropriately has an image of the Bronx Zoo flanking him on his congressional home page, next to an image of the old Yankee Stadium. His latest bill is a left-field gem: a proposal to repeal the 22nd Amendment (which limits a president to two terms). The amendment “shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years after the date of its submission for ratification.” get it? Just in time to let Obama run for a third term in 2016. Even if Sarah Palin is running at the time, this is just idiotic.
