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.
If Trump tried to run for a third term, could Obama run against him?
No. Obama is term-limited. Trump is not, because (choose one or more):
One more I’ve heard from the MAGAs in my workplace: Trump did not actually get a first term because the Democrats obstructed him so 2024 is actually his first term
Then I guess Obama gets two more terms, because Republicans obstructed him.
No, none of this is based on logic. It’s just words, like LLM words; it means nothing.
Have you seen Frieren? Demons only talk to confuse. They have no moral values. They appeal to ours only to not be killed, but it’s a ruse every time.
The same is true for fascists. None of this makes sense. It only serves to confuse, delay, obstruct, until they get what they want. They string together words so that our brains go brrr, but they’re infants babbling sounds. Stop talking to them as equals, they don’t see you as one. They see us as prey, as slaves, as livestock. And most don’t realize they’re livestock, too.
I get you were being sarcastic. I’m just mad.
We shouldn’t even entertain the idea of third terms. It’s starts normalizing it.
We shouldn’t have normalized letting traitors run for office. But SCOTUS deemed the constitution “unenforceable”.
We need to normalize the constitution. But people acted like the 14th amendment was “novel” and now there’s precedence.
If we are breaking it to that point, then he’ll just run again and kill any one who runs against him. Officially of course. That way it can’t be a crime. Or he could just retire like sulla did after dealing the mortal blow to the republic. Will it really matter at that point if everything is “fixed”
