Governor Mark Warner is pushing for a constitutional amendment to allow Virginia governors to run for a second consecutive term.
And, according to the Washington Post, Warner is expected to enlist former governors to help the cause.

A commission on government efficiency chaired by former Governor Doug Wilder has already endorsed the idea.
