Here's the whole text:
JOINT RESOLUTION
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.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years after the date of its submission for ratification:
`Article--
`The twenty-second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.'.
I give 'em props for proposing an amendment. Old school.
Rule 8?
If it passes Congress--two-thirds of the Senate should be easy enough--it should go nowhere in state legislatures. Then again, they have seven years. Between ACORN, Alinskyites, and thousands of *ahem* critical thinkers of voting age, their composition can change.
