Of Hate

S
ENATOR THOMAS C. HENNINGS, JR.,
is author of a proposal to amend the
Constitution which would do away with the
two-terms limitation on the presidency.
Also in favor of eliminating this restrictive
amendment are President Eisenhower and
former President Truman.
The two-term amendment is the "hate
Roosevelt" restriction, proposed by the Re-
publican 80th Congress.
It would never have been voted into being
by the people, but it was finally ratified by
enough state legislatures to become the
twenty-second - amendment.
State legislatures, by the way, are about
as far away from the voice of the people as
you can get, in our book. They are the voice
of pressures, and the pressures were on to
get the Roosevelt smear measure into the
constitution.
The first individual to be hurt by it is
President Eisenhower. He is by statute a
"lame duck" president with the consequent
dimunition of prestige and political power in
his office.
Practically nobody wants the twenty-sec-
ond amendment any more, but it is very
difficult to get a part of the Constitution
repealed.
It stands as a good object lesson on "make
haste slowly" if we consider changing our
basic law.
