President Reagan told a group of state legislators that the Constitution should be changed to permit presidents to serve more than two terms, White House spokesman Larry Speakes said. Speakes said the question was raised by a longtime Reagan supporter at a private meeting with legislators last week in Tampa, Fla., where the President had just given a speech. Repealing the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which limits presidents to two elected terms, would require another amendment that would have to be approved by a two-thirds’ vote of both houses of Congress and by legislatures in three-fourths of the states.
