In 2018 the council tried a "Do-Over" by putting an amendment on the ballot to extend that to 3 consecutive terms for the Memphis City Council and Mayor...and it lost by a 60-40 margin.

“I respect whatever decision the council makes, but my record on this has been clear: I voted for the two-term limit at the ballot box, and I would only serve two terms at most as mayor even if the council and citizens vote for this change,”
