A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution reaffirms the Twenty-second Amendment. It highlights multiple past statements and events where President Trump discussed staying in office past two terms or running again. It points out instances where he mused about serving three, four, or five terms, or remaining in office indefinitely. It notes comments about being a dictator on day one and statements regarding voters not needing to vote anymore. The text states that a Project 2025 contributor advocated for repealing the Twenty-second Amendment. Finally, the resolution formally resolves that the House of Representatives reaffirms the Twenty-second Amendment applies to two terms in the aggregate and prohibits President Trump from running for another term.

Yes

    The resolution provides clarity on the legal limitations of presidential service and the application of the Twenty-second Amendment.

  • Would people in cities be better off under this?+1

    The preservation of constitutional term limits maintains long-term political stability for all residents.

The opposite

  • Does this give the federal government more power?-2

    By enforcing strict term limits via the Twenty-second Amendment, the resolution maintains the established constitutional constraints on executive power.
