Amendment XXII - Presidential term limits. Ratified 2/27/1951. History

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.

are they really going to try and change this? it's been on the books 4 years for forever.

Actually for this to go through: 2/3 of the Senate and House must approve and then 3/4 of States must ratify so it would take some time.

this would be enacted only under intense pressue.. in fact even proposing such a bill is rediculous, it would NEVER pass without something MAJOR happening.
