Dem. Rep. Introduces Bill to Abolish Presidential Term Limits
By Madeline Morganstern
January 6, 2013
A Democratic congressman on Friday yet again introduced a resolution seeking to repeal the 22nd Amendment, thereby removing the limit on how many terms a president may serve in office.
Its a regular occurrence for longtime Rep. Jose Serrano (D-N.Y.), who has introduced similar legislation every Congress going back at least through 2001.
The 22nd Amendment bars any president from serving more than two full terms in office. It was passed by Congress in 1947 and ratified in 1951 as a reaction to Franklin Delano Roosevelts four-term presidency.
Amending the Constitution would require the approval of both the House and Senate and three-fourths of the states.
