Note that the 22nd includes: "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."

The 22nd only passed because it was not retroactive (to
the sitting POTUS, then Truman(D). There would be strong
resistance to making the repeal retroactive to the
sitting president, which this bill is, as written.

Anyway, this junk began late in the Clinton epoch, and
the name "Clinton" is enough to keep most GOP from
voting for it. Similarly, the name "Bush" will keep
most Dems from voting for it.

In any case, the ratification takes essentially forever
(nearly 4 years for enactment, in the case of the 22nd).

Bottom line: ain't gonna happen.
