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.

    I will go get high enough to forget why we discussed it, and to have an appropriately ridiculous response to your sitcom pitch.
