How surprised would you be if 45 was voted NO TERM LIMITS? It would not surprise me in he least. America has lost control of government. We can talk about the sleaze and malfeasance but nothing Stops it.
It takes a lot (as noted) to get rid of an Amendment, or create one. I'm still surprised the 22nd occurred since FDR (whose presidency caused it) wasn't actually horrible by any rational measure. But given that "the people" don't directly vote for amendments it's fair to say that enough Congressmen from both sides were tired or bored enough to keep things fresher going forward.
I'd be good with one that limits the damage to one term. I used to think 6 years would be decent but lately ... not so much.
As for stopping it, that's really about timing and being patient.
