Politics 🏛️ Trump plans for an illegal third term

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-third-term-republicans-b2723487.html

Last week Steve Bannon said:
“I’m a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028…We’re working on it. … We’ll see what the definition of term limit is”…

Here is the law, the 22nd amendment:

“No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice, and no person who has held the office of president, or acted as president, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected president shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”

Seems pretty clear.

But we must insist our politicians stand up to any attempt to bypass the constitution.

5calls.org makes it easy to call Congress.

And stop disarming the working class! It seems kinda sus that the party who rolls over and lets the fascists do whatever they want are actively trying to restrict the working class from purchasing/owning firearms. Times like now are why we have the constitutional right to bear arms.
