Amendment proposed to repeal constitutional limit on number of Presidential terms? [View all]

Has the congressional website been hacked or is this real?

H.J.Res.15 - Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.

I wonder why he thought that it was important to introduce this proposed amendment. xxxsdesdexxx Jan 2013 #9
