1. Huh? 22nd Amendment addresses term limits

Apr 2013

The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, ratified on February 27, 1951, limits the Presidential term. It provides that no person may be elected President more than twice. No Vice President who succeeded to the office of President, nor any other person in the line of succession who acted as President, and served for more than two years of a term to which someone else had been elected, could be elected to the Presidency more than once.

What does this have to do with gun rights?
