The first bill which is simultaneously brought before the House and the Senate begins with the following words:
JOINT RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which 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:
'Article-
'The twenty-second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.'."
It is quickly passed and all state legislatures vote in favor of it.
On an evening in July of 2007, George W. Bush appears on television, stating that he will seek his party's nomination for president for the upcoming 2008 election.
In his speech, the president says, "I can not in good conscience relinquish leadership of the great and blessed United States of America until the complex and dangerous war on terror is won."
This article is not just meant to be a scary story or the prediction of a nightmare. This was written to generate the question, "At what point in this story do the American people revert to some kind of radical next step to stop this from coming to fruition?" and to generate answers to that question.
