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.

Summary of Bill HJRES 29
Bill 119 hjres 29 proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that would limit the number of times a person can be elected to the office of the President to three. This means that after serving three terms as President, a person would be ineligible to run for the office again.
The purpose of this amendment is to prevent any individual from holding the office of the President for an extended period of time, thereby ensuring that there is regular turnover in leadership and preventing any one person from accumulating too much power.
If this amendment were to be passed, it would require a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as ratification by three-fourths of the states. This is a high bar to clear, but proponents of the amendment argue that it is necessary to protect the democratic principles of the United States. Opponents of the amendment may argue that it limits the choice of the American people and could prevent a popular and effective leader from continuing to serve as President. However, supporters believe that the potential risks of allowing a President to serve more than three terms outweigh any potential benefits. Overall, Bill 119 hjres 29 raises important questions about the balance of power in the United States and the importance of term limits for elected officials. It will be interesting to see how this proposal is debated and whether it ultimately gains enough support to become law.

This bill is total BS. Why should they limit how many times someone can be President? It's my right to vote for who I want, this is just trying to take away my freedom. #NotMyPresident

I think this is a good idea. But how will it work exactly?
