Mitch McConnell 11/29/94 " I intend to introduce a constitutional amendment which would repeal the 22nd Amendment because that denied the voters the opportunity to choose their president."
Senator Mitch McConnell I think we've found something we can agree on. Repeal the 22nd Amendment so Barack Obama can run for a third term. I expect that's something you can get through the senate if you don't filibuster it. Go for it Mitch. Fight for what you believe in.

Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) and Rep. Henry J. Hyde (R-Ill.), incoming chairmen of the two chambers' Judiciary committees, have expressed opposition to term limits. Yesterday Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has played a key role in other institutional reform battles, came out swinging against the amendment and, for good measure, added that he was launching an effort to repeal the 22nd Amendment, which imposes a two-term limit on presidents.
