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`The twenty-second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.’.

I propose an amendment that requires them to not be paid after their 12th year, and for them to lose 50% of any pension and benefits for each year they remain over 12.
When he comes up for re-election, Serrano’s Bronx constituents should show him what term limits are all about!
Hugo Chavez must be smiling. This is the exact tactic he used. Come to think of it, this isn’t too far from Hitler’s rise to dictatorship either.
I believe this brought up just about once a year since it passed.
“I would also propose term limits for Senators and Representatives - end the perpetual lordships.”
I agree totally. Thank you.

We may have to start voting from the rooftops.
Time has a way of bringing out the truth regarding the effectiveness (or lack there of) of a President. Reagan is one example on the positive side. Carter, an example on the negative side,
