The Twenty Second Amendment

"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 yo 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."

This amendment had to do with the President’s limits on term.  This was initially suggested by Thomas Jefferson because without such a limit the presidency could last for a lifetime.  George Washington had also thought the same way and only served two terms because he didn't want to be seen as a king.  The only Presidents that ran for a third term were Ulysses S. Grant and F.D.R. and this was because people didn't like to change the President during a time of war because they wanted to keep the country unified.  

This Calvin and Hobbes comic is a funny way to look at the terms of the president, and in Calvin's case the terms that his father is in "office".  

This caricature of Obama and Clinton put a funny twist on how many have feelings of wanting to repeal the 22nd amendment.  I also think that Clinton wouldn't mind being a President again for a third term.
