That is exactly what Hugo Chavez did in Venezuela, what other dictators have done, slowly but surely.

I predicted that he, and his co-host from the GOP, will soon start trying to make amendments to the consitution, all to help them stay in power of course...Tune in, it is coming, unless we all do our part to take them out of office soon.

Chavez was a dictator??? Only in America.

Hugo Chavez (not Maduro) enjoyed overwhelming popular elections.
During his tenure poverty was reduced significantly.
Health care was made universally available to all.


Just a few slight differences.

Personally I don't think he's going to live that long, w/ all of the fast food he gobbles/slurps down.

All it takes is 2/3 of State legislatures being controlled by Republicans to call for a Constitutional Convention, and the Koch Brothers are bank-rolling this effort.

Back on March 27, 2017, Bill Moyers wrote about the specifics of this and how it could actually come about.
Find it at https://billmoyers.com/story/kochs-to-rewrite-constitution/

It chills me to think that there are people who will go to any length to destroy this country by undermining the principles on which it was founded. The Koch brothers are pure evil.

I remember somewhat that the equal rights amendment needed a 2/3rds approval by all states to be passed, I think, to become an amendment?

I do seem to remember a 2/3 of state legislatures to be called (don't recall where at), but can't remember where the verbiage is at, so forth.

Thanks again.
