Has the bill been signed yet. I thought it was still in committee. Once a bill is passed and signed by the president it takes any where from 30 days to 6 mos sometimes longer depending on the provision in the bill. You can call Sen. Alexander office they will know. 202-224-4944.

It is still in the works, so it hasn't been turned down completely, but the senate has been delaying "S 2454"  The text of the bill can be found here:\nhttp://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:S.2454:

Well, the 3rd amendment - there aren't many issues with troops being quartered today.\n\nThe 18th amendment is also now completely irrelevant, as it was repealed by the 21st. \n\nThe rest all are fairly relevant, although it's arguable that some are more important than others.

Amendment XXII \n(Ratified in 1951.) \n\nSection 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term. \n\nSection 2. This Article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress\n\nIt was FDR broke with tradition

It would state the effective date in the question.  \n\nIt would take effect on that date, unless there is a court challenge to the constitutionality of the question.\n\nSee this wikipedia site for details.

You could say when it was implemented in 1868 since it never met Constitutional requirements for ratification.\n\nCertainly when supported by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Texas V. White in 1869.

Section One of Article II of the U.S. Constitution establishes the requirements one must meet in order to become President. The president must be a natural-born citizen of the United States (or a citizen of the United States at the time the U.S. Constitution was adopted), be at least 35 years old, and have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.\n\nThe natural-born citizenship requirement has been the subject of controversy recently. Some commentators argue that the clause should be repealed because it excludes qualified people based on so-called "technicalities", and fails to appreciate the contributions made by immigrants to American society. Supporters counter that the requirement protects the United States from foreign interference — another country could send an emigrant to the United States and through subterfuge get them elected. Many prominent public officials are barred from the presidency because they are not natural-born citizens (for example, Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright, and Governors Arnold Schwarzenegger of California and Jennifer Granholm of Michigan), as well as other well-known persons born in other countries who have done great service for the United States (Bob Hope). Constitutional amendments are occasionally proposed to remove or modify this requirement, but none has been successful.

it's not a law, just a bill passed by Senate. It also needs to be passed by the house and signed by the president to become a law, which probably won't happen.\n\nAnyway as a student this new immigration reform probably won't affect you at all. If you are hoping to get permanent residency out of this that probably won't happen either.\n\nIt's all speculations really, we must wait for a law to pass before we know anything for sure

It already passed the House in December. There is no way to know when the Senate will vote on it. It is currently in the Judiciary committee, and it could take months to get through there or never be moved on to the whole house.

January 3, 2007.  The only exception would exist for someone who was elected to fulfill the unexpired portion of someone else's term; that person would be sworn in at the next session of the current Congress.

We probablu have to wait until January. You can't impeach without a majority vote, and the new Democratic congress won't be sworn in until January
