	Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The rationale was a concern that without limits, the presidential position could become too similar to that of a benevolent dictator lasting not just four years but a lifetime, that the position could become too powerful and upset the separation of powers, and even so powerful that elections would become dispensable.
		If a person serving as vice president succeeds to the presidency, and serves for less than two years of the original president's term, he or she may still be elected twice and thus serve a total of ten full years in office.
		Some argue that the Twenty-second Amendment and Twelfth Amendment bar any two-term President from later serving as Vice President as well as from succeeding to the Presidency from any point in the United States Presidential line of succession.

	The 22nd Amendment Should Be Repealed - Dan Peterson
		The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, limiting each president to only two terms, was passed by Congress in 1947 and ratified by the states in 1951.
		Though the amendment seemed "plausible at first sight" in reaction to the reign of Roosevelt, it remains "ill-founded upon close inspection." The founding Fathers, as usual, were more adept at constitution-making than were their progeny.
		The amendment first applied to Dwight D. Eisenhower, but the recentness of its adoption, and the absence of any conspicuous desire on Eisenhower's part to seek a third term, made serious...

	Phish Fan in Jeezus Land: Repealing the 22nd Amendment?
		House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) introduced bipartisan legislation today to repeal the 22nd amendment, which states that "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice." Representatives Berman (D-CA), Pallone (D-NJ), Sabo (D-MN) and Sensenbrenner (R-WI) joined Hoyer in sponsoring the resolution.
		The 22nd Amendment requires that no person who has served two terms, or who has served more than two years of another President's term and their own elected term, be permitted to serve another term of office.
		Under the Constitution as altered by the 22nd Amendment, this must be President George W. Bush's last term even if the American people should want him to continue in office.

	CNN.com - Why the Constitution permits a Gore-Clinton ticket - August 1, 2000
		But Bill Clinton can serve as vice president, because the 22nd Amendment's prohibition on running for a third presidential term is not a condition of the office of president.
		The 22nd Amendment was adopted in part simply to formalize the tradition unbroken until FDR that American presidents should not seek a third term.
		And the exegesis of the 22nd Amendment that I have provided here is exactly the sort of "textualism" that Bush's judicial heroes Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas routinely applaud.

	MNDv3 \| Serving Man Daily Since 2001 » Bills Introduced To Repeal The 22nd Amendment, Bubba Perks Up
		Some members of Congress have grabbed a broom and are attempting to sweep away the 22nd Amendment — this is the law that limits a president’s time in office to eight years total.
		The 22nd Amendment was passed after FDR became the first president to go past George Washington’s self-imposed two-term limit, and was elected to his fourth term and soon after died of a stroke.
		The positive consequence, perhaps unintended, perhaps by design, of the 22nd Amendment is that at some point, a president will come along — one that wasn’t, shall we say, fit for office but that the proper circumstances aligned that made them repeatedly electable – and the 22nd Amendment will be there to save us from ourselves.

	Bill Clinton for Vice President!!!
		It is not prohibited by the 22nd Amendment.
		While the 22nd Amendment says that he cannot be elected to the office of president again, there is nothing that says that he cannot run for or be elected as vice-president.
		Amendment XII merely provides: "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." There is a difference between running for election as president and becoming president by some other means.

	Editorial: Two terms are enough / The 22nd Amendment has served the nation well
		Clinton said the 22nd amendment, which limits presidents to no more than two terms in their lifetime, should be modified.
		George Washington was the first to realize it, and he established a precedent that lasted until Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in the exceptional circumstances of the lingering Depression and gathering war clouds, sought a third (and later a fourth) term.
		While the 22nd Amendment came as the revenge of Republicans in Congress, it also had the effect of keeping a couple of popular GOP presidents -- Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan -- in check.
