Two constitutional amendments are
pending before congress, one IN each
end, but both effecting the presidential
office. The one in the house proposes to
extend the term for six years instead OF
four and make the incumbent ineligible
for reelection, and the other curtaillng
the power of the veto prerogative by re-
ducing from two-thirds to a simple ma
iority the vote necessary to pass measure
over the presidents objections. Neither
proposition is new, both having been

Iicly discussed almost ad minimum
There are many strong reasons IN favor
of both, but it is doubtful that any de-
