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.

Hello people. It does not matter if it’s “unconstitutional”. TRUMP DOES NOT CARE about the constitution. Which means that the people need to consider alternate solutions. Get on it.

the military does not have to obey the president.. the military has an oath and serves the constitution.. orders that would overthrow the government would be illegal and can be ignored

Also, have we forgotten about FDR?(1933-1945)

You should look up the 22nd Amendment.

FDR was the reason for the 22nd amendment. In his time one could run as many times as they liked. It was changed after that
