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. (H.J.Res. 15) - GovTrack.us

Don't think we have to much to worry bout as this has been tried twice before with any real effort (Reagan and Clinton eras),,,altho it has been an ongoing debate since 1985,,, most of the HJ Resolutions don't even make it out of committee anyways,,,the only President that pushed the standard of 2 terms set by Washington (followed by Jefferson, Madison and Monroe) was FDR (1933-45),,,the 22nd Amendment was passed in 1947 and ratified in 1951,,,

There are some that would like to see a change in regards to Amendment 22, as currently stated a VP who takes over 2 yrs or more of from a President, can only then be elected 1 time,,,only President this might have affected would have been Ford as he served the final 29 months of Nixon's Presidency but lost to Carter in 1976,,,

It's interesting to note that this is Serrano's second attempt at this  Resolution(2009 being the first http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-hj5/show),,,Rep. Barney Frank,  Rep. Howard Berman, and Sen. Harry Reid, have also tried,,,

Also some have tried to challenged the citizenship clause (Article II) as well,,,when aAnold was super popular, there was a push to try an make it so he could run for President,,,

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 to 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.

Just because some nitwit comes up with an idea to change the Constitution doesn't make it happen (thankfully) it's a long process (Article V),,,two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate followed by a ratification of three-fourths of the various state legislatures (used only one used to date.),,,the Constitution might be amended by a Convention called for this purpose by two-thirds of the state legislatures, if the Convention's proposed amendments are later ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures,,,

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
