WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Stand Up America Executive Director Christina Harvey issued the following statement marking the 74th anniversary of the ratification of the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two terms.

“The Constitution is crystal clear: ‘No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.’ But Trump and his Republican allies in Congress have shown over the past six weeks how little respect they have for our Constitution and the rule of law. 

“His talk of a third term isn’t a joke or a slip of the tongue. It’s a test to see how far he can go in his quest for unchecked power.

“Today would be a good day for every elected official to reaffirm the oath they took to defend our Constitution, including the 22nd Amendment. Because no one should have power for life.”
