God, the dumbery around this bitch smells like..
It is an amendment to the Constitution that limits Presidential terms, not the original Constitution.
Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution was an addition to the United States Constitution that put a limit on how many times a person could be elected to be President. A person is limited to being elected twice - or once if they've already served more than two years as President. Congress passed the amendment on March 21, 1947. It was ratified on February 27, 1951.
The President of the United States is elected to have that position for a period, or "term", that lasts for four years. The Constitution had no limit on how many times a person could be elected as president. The nation’s first president, George Washington chose not to try to be elected for a third term. This suggested that two terms were enough for any president. Washington’s two-term limit became the unwritten rule for all Presidents until 1940.
In 1940, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt won a third term. He also won a fourth term in 1944. Roosevelt was president through the Great Depression of the 1930's and almost all of World War II. He held approval ratings in the mid-50% to the low 60% ranges over his many years in office. Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage in April of 1945, just months after the start of his fourth term. Soon after, Republicans in Congress began the work of creating Amendment XXII. Roosevelt was the first and only President to serve more than two consecutive terms.
The amendment was passed by Congress in 1947, and was ratified by the states on February 27, 1951. The Twenty-Second Amendment says a person can only be elected to be president two times for a total of eight years. It does make it possible for a person to serve up to ten years as president. This can happen if a person (most likely the Vice-President) takes over for a president who can no longer serve their term. If this person serves two years or less of the preceding President’s term, he or she may serve for two more four-year terms. If he or she served more than two years of the last President's term, the new President can serve only one full four-year term. Under the language of the amendment, the President at the time of its ratification (Harry Truman) was exempt from the two-term limitation. Truman served nearly all of Roosevelt's unexpired fourth term and then was elected President once, serving his own four year term. -

According to your reasoning, Obama should get 2 additional terms for the harassment Trump gave for both of Obama's terms with his made-up "birther" crap. -

Just the facts.
The question should be "Why are the Republicans afraid of the facts?" -

2020-01-31 at 6:05 PM UTC in Repurcussions If The Republicans Acquit Trump Without Witnesses And DocumentsWe'll never really know the truth now with the Republicans voting down any witnesses or documents now, will we?
Hell yeah, we will. The truth will all eventually come out and the weasely Republicans will all cry "But...I didn't know!" while they get voted out of office. -

You're welcome. -

Get with the program. -
2020-01-31 at 4:50 PM UTC in Fucking digital thermostatsNormally there are four wires going to your thermostat, all low voltage. Standard wiring IN THE STATES is incoming power is the red wire. Heat is the white wire. The green wire turns on the furnace blower. Yellow turns on the A/C. You may have other problems like a stuck gas valve or bad circuit board. I recommend disconnecting the white wire at the t-stat. If the furnace turns off within a minute or two, the thermostat is your problem. If it doesn't, you have other problems.

2020-01-31 at 4:35 PM UTC in Repurcussions If The Republicans Acquit Trump Without Witnesses And DocumentsQuit drinking the Republican Kool-Aid and consider what is in the best long-term interest of this country, Archer. A "no witnesses or documents" vote today will codify an imperial presidency. This is not the country I grew up in.

It will never be able to recover from today's vote that will codify an imperial presidency. -
2020-01-31 at 4:17 PM UTC in Repurcussions If The Republicans Acquit Trump Without Witnesses And DocumentsThe facts are that Trump withheld $391,000,000 in aid to a country fighting a proxy war for us against our enemy, the Russians, in order to try to disgrace his leading political opponent. He didn't even want a real investigation, merely the announcement of one. The Republicans don't even try to deny it.
They will ruin our democracy with a vote to not hear the evidence.
