The 22nd Amendment of the United States of America should be repealed

1. The 22nd Amendment protects against Historically proven corruption The 22nd Amendment keeps the President from becoming a King, or a dictator. Historically, we all must remember that the poster boy of Fascism was elected, that is, Adolf Hitler. Hitler was elected in 1933, in the greatest crisis Germany had ever seen. They were being harshly persecuted and what money they earned went to paying of exuberant reparations – consequences for losing WW1. At the risk of appearing to talk nonsense I tell you that the National Socialist movement will go on for 1,000 years! . .. Don't forget how people laughed at me 15 years ago when I declared that one day I would govern Germany. They laugh now, just as foolishly, when I declare that I shall remain in power! - Adolf Hitler Post WW1 Germany is shockingly similar to our current situation. We have a middle class squeeze, we owe everybody, we have a corrupt elite that keeps our Government unhealthy, and we are all waiting for a middle class hero to rise up. Hitler was that hero for the Germans, and they ate him up. Hitler came in, won the vote, but only the minority, so he passed the enabling act, and was supported, with some pushing and prodding The act gave him full legislative power, but for only four years, just enough to rebuild. He was so popular, and did such a great job; economically reforming Germany, filling the people with hope, restructuring, and so on, the people gladly accepted his quiet passing of numerous bills and amendments making him a dictator by giving him more and more powers, outlawing the idea of presidency, which, by the way, was 90% supported, then outlawing Communists, for Burning the Reichstag (which they did not do), then outlawing his political opponents, then, infamously outlawing Jews for destroying the economy (which, obviously, they did not do either). We know the rest of the story. 2. Historically, few Presidents have wanted to, or actually could, take a third term Only President Roosevelt served more than two terms in 225 years’ worth of Presidents. Roosevelt suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died the following year after his 1944 election. Thomas Jefferson wrote that he supported the idea of two term presidency, and only President Grant, some 60 years later would try and run for a consecutive third term, but his political support had dried up, and he wasn't even chosen as a candidate. Even Harry Truman, who was the last President to have the power to take a third term, decided he did not want one. Regan is considered one of the few Presidents who could have easily run for a third term in terms of popularity, however, by the time he was in his second term he was already into the latter parts of his seventies, and wore hearing aids, leaving office in ’89 with budding Alzheimer’s disease. 3. The Amendment keeps the human element at bay Well we may think a President is doing a great job, in reality, he could have plans of his own, even if they aren’t as grandiose as a Hitler-type. This is one of those Amendments we think is archaic, or restrictive, when in reality, it keeps our emotional, ignorant, spur of the moment, perspective-free human brains from making a bad choice.
