[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1679395, member: 18945"] I suppose that depends if the majority approves of 'the direction' a president and his admin tries to take the country. Good luck getting the 22nd amendment overturned and a new amendment ratified by 2/3 of the states........ The ;last president to publicly state preference for an extended term (6 years) was Jimmy Carter. The most recent congress members to try to get the presidential terms lengthened were: Rep Jack Brooks (D) , Rep Bill Frenzel (R), and Rep Frank Joseph Guarini(D) in the 101st congressional session 1989. This was in the waning days of the Reagan admin and before the Nov elections. Rep Richard T. Shulze(R) introduced a similar bill during the 102nd congress in the last years of the HW Bush administration. Rep Frank Mascara (D) introduced his version during the 104th congress (when Bill Clinton was prez). See a pattern? Pretty much right down party lines, depending who was the sitting prez at the time. None of the proposed amendments ever made it out of committee. The 22nd amendment: “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,” [/QUOTE]
