Not just NO! - HELL NO!

From GovTrack.us:
H.J.Res. 15: 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.
Introduced:Jan 04, 2013 (113th Congress, 2013–2015)
Sponsor:Rep. José Serrano [D-NY15]
Hat tip to The Silicon Graybeard for the link. Representative Serrano's House website (with contact information) is here. If I was going to be repealing a Constitutional Amendment, I would start with the Seventeenth followed closely by a strong revision of the Sixteenth. Senators serve a six-year term of office -- let's install term limits there. You get to serve for twelve years max -- that is it. With emphasis on SERVE. You are banned from any lobbying activity for twelve years after that. You are done -- go home and play with your grandchildren... Representatives serve two-year terms -- let's cap that at six terms. Twelve years is enough to do your work, get some pork and make some money the old fashioned way. Grifting it. Posted by DaveH at January 6, 2013 8:08 PM
