Just glad they didn't introduce this bill, when impaired Reagan was in office.

What in the world is the point of that? I wonder if it's come up before and, if not, what he's getting at.

I guess he really likes Barack Obama.

I really like him, too. But eight years is an awfully long time to have such a stressful job. It's enough. And for goodness sake, we have to protect ourselves from ourselves. Look at how hard it is to get incumbents out of congress. Can you imagine 12 years of George Bush? Yikes.

Zero chance the motion even comes to the floor for discussion.

That's probably true. They're too busy passing bills to repeal Obamacare and important stuff like that.

If we're lucky.  What a gift this is for talk radio and cable news babblemouths.

Woo hoo, Decider--this is your big chance to come back for another round!

Huh. Apparently Rep. Serrano introduces this bill every two years regardless of who is President. A few others do it too.

Sorry about this folks. I posted before researching it. Erica is exactly right. The practice seems to have started around the time of Reagan's second term.

I'm not sure why, but there you have it.  :^)
