Lately there has been a lot of rumors about doing away with the 22nd amendment and allowing a president to serve as many terms as he wants to if he can get elected. This is what I found on Snopes. I was surprised that it has been tried so many times before.

Looks like it will never happen and it should never happen. In fact, I'd love to see term limits covering Congress - something reasonable like 4 terms for the House and 2 terms for the Senate.

I'd be in favor of declaring the lenght of a term to be one month for this particular Pres..

We need to create a do-over scenario, say at six-months. Either they receive a vote of confidence - 50% or more or they are out at one-year.

i would rather have a background check done by the military and drug testing. that way we could have avoided quite a few bad congress people. that glazed look in their eyes doesn't come from hard work
