That happens at the start of virtually every presidential term. The new president's most ardent supporters think he is some kind of political messiah and that he should be president for life.
I've followed politics since Nixon and I can not remember any "ardent" supporters calling for term limitations to be lifted. If you have specific examples, please post them.

The article refers to Reagan wanting term limits lifted....not supporters. Having said that, Regan was wrong in trying to end the limits.

Harry Reid proposed eliminating the 22nd amendment in 1989.

And Howard Berman tried to do the same in 2005.

I can recall some Schwarzenegger supporters a few years ago wanting the \"natural born citizen\" requirement stricken from the Constitution, as well.

Obama already set the precedent for that. :P

How? He didn't "come onto the scene" until after all of those other instances.

I got the reference :roll: and I'm already familiar with the birth history of this nation's presidents and the (totally unnecessary and to be honest silly) suspicion of the current President's place of birth. You (and the previous poster) should study more facts instead of baseless statements.
