Repeal the 22nd Amendment

What is the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution?

Section 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.

Section 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.

Why Repeal?

The principle of repealing the 22nd amendment is simple: Can the American people be trusted not to elect Dictators? Or not?

Simply put - the people should be able to elect anyone they wish. Getting rid of term limits is getting rid of Truman-era Democrat nonsense.

I support the repeal of the Twenty-Second Amendment. - Smart aka Reuven
