Stockman (R-Ore.) says ho will press for passage of his reso lution limiting a president to one six-year term. Stockman introduced his reso lution, which would call for a constitutional amendment, be fore the house passed a resolu tion to submit to the states an amendment limiting a president to two terms. Stockman told a reporter ehat the house action, in his opinion, does not solve the question. He said he believes limiting a presi dent's tenure to two terms still will not take the office out of politics. "Under the two-term plan," Stockman said, "the incumbent will still keep his eye out for a second term and would thus do what is politically expedient rather than exercise his own free and unbiased Judgment. I'With only one term of six years allowed, most men of the caliber to be elected president will have the courage and con victions to make decisions as they honestly see them rather than be swayed by and subjected to pressures of a political party." Stockman's proposal would prohibit any person who has served as president from being eligible to hold the office again.
