Attention Constitution Experts, what amendment sets the limit for Prez?

[sistersofmercy]

Just curious and I wanted to discuss the topic. There was a movement to modify said amendment so that Clinton could run for president again. In other words to change the wording of the amendment to 2 consequetive terms rather than limiting the presidency to merely 2 terms. Any thoughts on the matter? Just curious.

Thanks Sisters.

2. Here's the text:

Amendment XXII <1951>
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 president more than once.

4. Steny Hoyer is trying to repeal it.

I don't like it. Two terms, that's it, the law protects you.
