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.

          I’ve been watching slow horses with Gary oldman and he’s hilarious. I also love patton oswalt. Not sure if either of those are right for the Andrew McCarthy or the other guy roles, but maybe we could find parts for them?
