He's done nothing different to every single president so far.
Any evidence that he wants that amendment revoked; having just looked it up the only site I've found on it is a far right wing one (selling NWO t-shirts, amoung other things) and theres no evidence he's sponsoring the bill. Oh, and he dosn't have the votes. He needs 66 in the senate to pass it and far more in the house thans he's got.

Obama put a puppet in charge of the Commerce Dept. Someone who won't speak up when he starts strong-arming him.....threatening him to go along.
Congress isn't about to police itself much less the President in their own party. They are the only thing in a position to stop him. Anyone who brings a lawsuit against Obama will have to wait years for it to reach the Supreme Court. The normal checks and balances in Washington are a thing of the past.
There already has been a bill introduced in January to revoke the 22nd Amendment. Check the Congressional record if you don't believe me. It doesn't matter if Obama ordered it or not. It's already in the works.
