Although the adoption of the Constitution on September 17, 1787, apparently settled this question of to his presidential tenure satisfactorily, it was a question that was destined to come up again and again in future years especially in the legislative branch of our government. After the contested election of 1800, a resolution was presented in the senate "that no person who has been twice successively elected President shall be eligible as President until four years elapse, when he may be eligible to office for four years and no longer." But the senate rejected this by a vote of 25 to 4. Twenty years later, however, the senate passed a joint resolution by a vote of 36 to 3, providing that no man should be chosen President for more than two terms. But the house failed to act on this resolution so nothing more was done about presidential tenure until the contested election of 1824 brought it up again. Then no less than 10 amendments to the Constitution, intended to limit the President to one term were debated in congress. Many Resolutions Offered. During Jackson's administration 21 joint resolutions, dealing with a limitation of the presidential term, were introduced in congress but none was acted upon. Some of these recommended a single term of four or six years, others prohibited a third term and still others were against more than two consecutive terms.

But during the administration of Andrew Johnson there were 12 joint resolutions recpresidential single ommending terms without any action being taken upon them. But in 1875, when it seemed likely that Grant would be a candidate for a third term, William M. Springer of Illinois introduced a resolution in the house. That in the opinion of this House, the precedent established by Washington and other Presidents of the United States, in retiring from the presidential office after their second term has become, by universal concurrence, a part of our republican system of government, and that any departure from this custom would be unwise, unpatriotic and fraught with peril to our free institu- wt'rW UkeJg in thereafter be ineligible?

Edmund Randolph of Virginia and Charles Pinck-ne- y of South Carolina both presented resolutions providing for an executive "to be chosen by the national legislature for a term of . . . years and to be ineligible a second time." Three days later a vote was taken on a seven-yea- r term for this executive. Five states voted for it and four against it. The next day a motion to make the executive ineligible after seven years also was carried, by a vote of 7 to 2. Apparently that matter was settled. But two weeks later it was brought up again and Alexander Hamilton proposed that the supreme executive authority be vested in a "Governour" to be elected to serve during good behavior. The delegates turned thumbs down on this idea and on June 19 term for the voted for a seven-yea- r President who should be ineligible A month later, howfor ever, they changed their minds and struck out the ineligibility clause. Then followed a long debate. 'During Good Behavior.' Once more the "during good behavior" clause bobbed up but again it failed to pass. There was a suggestion that the Chief Executive be elected for 20 years and another that he be chosen by the legislature with the provision that no person be eligible for more than six years in any 12 years. Both of these plans were rejected and eventually they went back to the seven-yea- r term e with its proviso. This was in July and for the next two months the presidential term was repeatedly debated. On September 4 it was brought up again with the suggestion that the President's term be made four years. A motion to change this back to seven years and another to six years were defeated and on September 15 it was finally agreed that the President should be chosen by an electoral college for four years, no limit Salt Lake City, 139 North irA door to Salt lennimm-Bull- Co.. 25 E. 2nd So..

Two years later, after President Hayes in his inaugural address had recommended a constitutional numbered not more than two; today, France's giant tanks sometimes carry 30 men. Each has a specific duty as gunner, mechanic, navigator, control operator or radio man. Such monsters are practically a battleship on land. Tanks may be used either as mechanized cavalry for "opportunity" offensives or as sheer force weapons for frontal attacks. Some models can swim rivers; others lay their own bridges. Still others carry trailers and lay down smoke screens to shield advancing troops. One of their most effective weapons is a tongue of searing flame which can be thrown up to 50 feet and penetrates inside the gun slits and amendment limiting the President to a single term of six years, Springer offered another resolution embodying Hayes' recommendation and other reforms.
