White House
February 12, 2025
Washington, D.C. – As Trump continues to allude to and muse about staying in office beyond his constitutional limit of two presidential terms, reporters and everyday Americans are beginning to wake up to the fact that Trump may not be kidding after all. Back in November, Congressman Goldman saw Trump’s ‘jokes’ for what they were – trial balloons. In response, Goldman introduced a House Resolution urging his congressional colleagues to reaffirm the 22nd Amendment’s plain prohibition on any president serving beyond two elected terms in office. With Congressional Republicans now openly paving the way for Trump to run for president once more, Goldman’s urgent call for people to take Trump’s comments seriously is more relevant than ever.
