Trying to Repeal the 22nd Amendment
The 22nd Amendment to the United States Constitution, proposed on March 21, 1947 and ratified on February 27, 1951 states: "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." This was put into place by Congress after President Roosevelt was elected to his fourth term (he died the following year) because people wanted a formal limit to the number of terms a president could serve.
In the 1st Session of the 109th CONGRESS Representative Steny H. Hoyer, a democrat from Maryland has introduced a joint resolution, H. J. RES. 24, proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the 22nd amendment to the Constitution.
The resolution is currently in committee.
The tradition of term limits on the presidency was established by George Washington but the actual convention on term limits was put in place by Thomas Jefferson who stated "if some termination to the services of the chief Magistrate be not fixed by the Constitution, or supplied by practice, his office, nominally four years, will in fact become for life".
Although several presidents including Clinton, Eisenhower and Reagan have all spoken out against the idea of term limits (and these are 3 recent presidents that were personally affected by the 22nd Amendment) the amendment still stands. In fact, there is generally one or more attempts during each session of congress to repeal the Twenty-second Amendment, this is just the latest attack. You'll note that the resolution is sponsored by four Democrats and a single Republican.
If you don't agree with the idea of repealing term limits on the office of President of the United States of America you might consider writing your Representatives and/or Sentators and expressing your displeasure with H.J. Res. 24.
