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.

      We already tried running a corpse at the start of this campaign and it had too low of approval ratings to win.

          You know how I know I’m too stoned right now? I can actually picture this being a sitcom with Drew Carey starring as Grover Cleveland. I’m telling you, there’s something there, and I’m going to go ponder what that is over some more weed.
