Summary
Rep. Daniel Goldman plans to introduce a resolution clarifying that the Constitution’s two-term limit for presidents applies even if terms are non-consecutive, aiming to close any perceived loophole after Donald Trump joked about seeking a third term.
While unlikely to advance under Republican Speaker Mike Johnson, Goldman’s resolution underscores Democrats’ concerns over Trump’s repeated comments about serving beyond two terms, which some view as “anti-democratic and authoritarian.”
Goldman urges bipartisan support to uphold the 22nd Amendment, amid fears that some Republicans might not view Trump’s statements as mere jokes.
Cool how the dems always wait until the last minute to ineffectively attempt the bare minimum.
It’s not even the bare minimum, it’s dangerous. Every idiot, every American knows it applies to the total, it’s never been a realistic conversation. Also, I doubt more than 15% could even tell you who he was let alone when FDR served. The illiteracy rate in America is getting really disturbing.
Him doing this is just opening the conversation, it makes it seem like he agrees that it currently reads as non consecutive… when no person acting in good faith would agree with agree with that.
Democrats love blue balls
What are you doing to combat the Republicans actions?
Oh neat, you’re re mis-targeting your anger. Cool cool cool cool cool.
