Bill Summary
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to provide that no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times.
AI Summary
This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would limit a person's ability to serve as President of the United States. Specifically, the amendment would prevent any individual from being elected to the presidency more than three times, and it would prohibit a person from being elected to an additional term after serving two consecutive terms. The amendment also includes a provision that if someone has served as President or acted in the presidential role for more than two years of a term originally intended for another person, they can only be elected President twice. To become part of the Constitution, the amendment would require ratification by the legislatures of at least three-fourths of the states within seven years of its submission. This proposed amendment is similar to the 22nd Amendment, which was ratified in 1951 and established presidential term limits in response to Franklin D. Roosevelt's four election victories.
