Repeal the 22nd Amendment to Permit More Than Two Presidential Terms


Repeal the 22nd Amendment to Permit More Than Two Presidential Terms
The Issue
As deeply concerned citizens of the United States, we believe in the constitutional right of choice in our democracy. This petition raises understanding about our nation's early founders who believed in the infinite capacity of the people to choose their leader without limited terms. The original Constitution did not restrict how long a person could serve as President of our nation, fostering the essence of popular sovereignty.
However, the 22nd Amendment, enacted in 1947, disrupted this visionary construct by introducing a two-term limit for U.S. Presidents. We argue that it served personal political interests at the time rather than true democratic ideals. Numerous critics view this amendment as a tool used by political entities, not to uphold constitutional principles, but to keep the power punting within their spheres and to thwart the people's will.
Therefore, we call upon all compatible values, principles and democratic advocates to consider this matter with deep introspection. We invite you to join us in advocating for a change in our Constitution and in repealing the 22nd Amendment to allow Presidents to have more than two terms if chosen by the people. Voice your support for the original intent of our founding fathers and the true spirit of democracy. Sign this petition today.
