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.
You laugh, but remember that at one time, someone walked into a boardroom and actually said “<puff> So, I’ve got this idea for a new cartoon. It’s about a sponge. <puff> And it lives in a pineapple…<pass>”, and is now a millionaire many, many times over.
So who do we get to play the two dudes that have to Weekend at Bernies Drew Carey around the oval office all day?
