| Hi, I'm Gigi Ornette with your InfoWars Nightly News Alert. | |
| Bye. | |
| Try, try, try again. | |
| You may have heard this before. | |
| It comes from an old legend of Robert the Bruce. | |
| He was a 14th century King of Scotland. | |
| He kept failing, but one day, after seven attempts, he actually beat the King of England to regain Scotland. | |
| Well, there's a possibility Representative Jose E. Serrano of New York came from the same school of thought. | |
| In January of this year, he proposed to get H.J. | |
| Res. | |
| 15 passed committee for the ninth time. | |
| He's reintroduced it every congressional session since 1997. | |
| None of these resolutions ever made it to a floor vote, but try, try, try again. | |
| H.J. | |
| Res. | |
| 15 proposes repealing the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which sets term limits on the presidency. | |
| The last and only president to serve more than two terms was Franklin D. Roosevelt. | |
| In 1945, a few months after the inauguration for his fourth term of office, Roosevelt died. | |
| And in 1951, term limits on the presidency were preserved. | |
| Some, like Cokie Roberts, feel like we should get rid of the 22nd Amendment. | |
| And then we wouldn't have lame duck presidencies, like the one that we have now. | |
| The power of the presidency, regardless of whom occupies the White House, is enormous. | |
| And this question is always asked. | |
| And the truth is, the president is a lame duck. | |
| The 22nd Amendment is a terrible idea. | |
| How about a different approach? | |
| When you're done with your term, you leave. | |
| That's right, let's put term limits on House and Senate seats. | |
| And thank you to Representative Matt Salmon from Arizona for stepping up to the plate and getting things started. | |
| He recently introduced Joint Resolution 41 with five House sponsors to limit House members to three terms and Senators to two terms. | |
| Look out, Representative Serrano, your days may be numbered. | |
