Yeah he did:


In 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 [HJR 5] and 2011 [HJR 17], Serrano introduced a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_United_States) to repeal the 22nd Amendment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution ), thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as president. Each resolution, with the exception of the current one, died without ever getting past the committee.[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Enrique_Serrano#cite_note-9)[10] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Enrique_Serrano#cite_note-10) On January 3, 2013, Serrano proposed the repeal of the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which would remove the restriction on the number of terms a President may serve. This has been met with heavily negative backlash in social media, including a flood of hateful comments on his facebook page. These posts included comments of "traitor, "get out of my country now," "he is a traitor and should be removed from office," "Mr. Serrano, you have no honor. Maybe you know this already. On the other hand, maybe you don't, and that's the sad part." and over one thousand others.

He won't take a hint and stop.

I can see everybody in the committee rolling their eyes each time he submitted it: "Here we go again!" :roll:

if we're going to change that amendment, let's add to it - and include Congressman. Two election cycles and you're DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
