Bill Summary

Reaffirming the Twenty-second Amendment.

AI Summary

This resolution reaffirms the Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which limits presidential terms, specifically emphasizing that a president can serve a maximum of two terms in office. The resolution cites multiple instances where President Trump made statements suggesting interest in serving more than two terms, including comments about potentially remaining in office for 10-14 years, asking if he could get a "redo" of four years, and questioning whether he would be allowed to run again. The resolution directly states that the Twenty-second Amendment applies to two total terms as President and explicitly prohibits President Trump from running for president again. By documenting Trump's various statements about potentially extending his presidential tenure, the resolution appears to be a formal legislative response to what its authors perceive as challenges to the constitutional term limits established by the Twenty-second Amendment.
