Dem lawmaker to introduce 22nd Amdt resolution after Trump 3rd term remarks

Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., says that he will introduce a resolution that will, in his words, reaffirm Congress’ commitment and the Constitution’s clear definition that prohibits any president from serving more than two terms. Earlier on Wednesday, Nov. 13, President-elect Donald Trump told House Republicans, “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s so good, we got to figure something else out.'”

Some Republicans said he was joking, but Goldman does not think it’s funny.

“They always say he’s joking. It’s always Trump being Trump, or he’s just joking, but this is his MO,” Goldman said. “He will drop in something outlandish, claim he’s joking, but then he starts to repeat it more and more, and it starts to become normalized.”

Goldman added, “When you see members of Congress like Lauren Boebert start to parrot the same rhetoric, it’s time once and for all, for those of us who took an oath to uphold the Constitution to declare clearly that the Constitution does not permit a third term.”

Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, one of Trump’s closest allies on Capitol Hill, repeatedly assured reporters that the president-elect would only serve one more term.

This is how he reacted when asked by Straight Arrow News about Goldman’s resolution.

“Oh, stop it, you guys,” Nehls said. “Stop all that. President Trump’s going to be president for four more years. That’s what we have. Stop all this stuff. Don’t you guys have more important things to focus on? And instead of all that garbage.”

Straight Arrow News responded by saying it was Goldman who came to reporters to make the announcement, reporters did not seek him out.

Nehls answered, “The point I’m making is we had a great meeting this morning. President Trump shows up to our conference, and it was just so reassuring, and it just, very positive comments coming from the 47th president. It’s a new day in America.

The 22nd Amendment states: “No person shall be elected to office of the president more than twice.” It makes no exceptions for those elected to non-consecutive terms.
