Hoyer Introduces Bipartisan Bill to Repeal 22nd Amendment. Resolution Would Repeal Two-Term Limit for President, Restore Power to the People...[Restore power to the people?-DTH]

WASHINGTON, DC House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) introduced bipartisan legislation today to repeal the 22nd amendment, which states that No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice. Representatives Berman (D-CA), Pallone (D-NJ), Sabo (D-MN) and Sensenbrenner (R-WI) joined Hoyer in sponsoring the resolution.

Representative Hoyer released the following statement regarding the resolution:

I introduced today a joint resolution to repeal outright the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution. The 22nd Amendment requires that no person who has served two terms, or who has served more than two years of another Presidentâs term and their own elected term, be permitted to serve another term of office.

So that would mean that anyone that served 2 terms could run again.. Humm so they could be put in a position that they could hold office until they died? Isn't that was a Monarchy does or a Dictatorship? Then what?
