Apparently this is fairly common.
The 22nd amendmant has only been around since the early 50s so it is relatively new.
There have also been similar bills proposed 23 times in the last 20 years. So this is nothing new. Remember, amending the constitution requires a lot more than simply passing a bill. And it certainly doesn't eliminate the need to be elected.
