           By Mr. SERRANO:
       H.J. Res. 17.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       This proposed constitutional amendment is introduced 
     pursuant to Article V of the Constitution. In Whitehill v. 
     Elkins (1967), the Supreme Court's majority opinion stated 
     that ``there is no restraint on the kind of amendment that 
     may be offered,'' under Article V of the Constitution. In 
     addition, this proposed constitutional amendment is 
     introduced in relation to the 22nd Amendment to the 
     Constitution, which this joint resolution seeks to repeal.
