Oust Politics?

The Senate for several days discussed a proposed amendment to the Constitution which would start the terms of the President and of Congressmen in the January following elections instead of two months later in March. Several Senators tried to annex to the proposal amendments to limit Presidents to one term in office so that they would not be tempted to play politics for reelection. The proposal for a single four year term was voted down 70 to 4, and for a single six years term, 45 to 10.
