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.
Kings and tyrants always have successors.
the people are left to pay the bill when a fight for succession happens.
I would ask everyone to imagine the US being like the post Soviet collapse. ammo out the ass but not a crumb to eat.
who am I kidding though, the youngins weren’t alive then. I doubt they even remember Kosovo.
Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
