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.
No. Obama is term-limited. Trump is not, because (choose one or more):
Grover Cleveland’s corpse could run, though
We already tried running a corpse at the start of this campaign and it had too low of approval ratings to win.
Would still vote for it over Trump.
Weekend at Grover’s. I’d watch that.
You know how I know I’m too stoned right now? I can actually picture this being a sitcom with Drew Carey starring as Grover Cleveland. I’m telling you, there’s something there, and I’m going to go ponder what that is over some more weed.
I will go get high enough to forget why we discussed it, and to have an appropriately ridiculous response to your sitcom pitch.
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?
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?
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.
