A House Democrat wants to introduce a resolution stating that Donald Trump cannot serve a third term as president.
The 22nd Amendment already states that presidents can only be elected twice, but that’s not enough for Rep. Dan Goldman, New York Democrat, who plans to file the resolution Thursday.
According to NBC News, which obtained a copy of the resolution Wednesday, it states that the 22nd Amendment “applies to two terms in the aggregate as President of the United States” and reaffirms that it “applies to President-elect Trump.”
