I need a straight answer from you: will you defend the Constitution and ensure Donald Trump leaves office on January 20, 2029, or will you let it happen? Not a form letter. Not a statement about "monitoring the situation." A clear, public commitment.
Trump has already floated the idea openly. Last August, in the Oval Office, he mused about using wartime as a pretext to cancel elections — "Oh, that's good," he said. He's sold "TRUMP 2028" hats. He's claimed he's "entitled" to a third term. He's said he'll only accept the 2026 midterm results if he decides they're "honest," and that if they aren't, "something else has to happen." Even Marjorie Taylor Greene — one of his most loyal former allies — has called this normalization of anti-democratic ideas "incredibly dangerous" and warned a third term would be "against the Constitution."
The 22nd Amendment is not ambiguous. Your oath is not optional. If you won't say clearly, right now, that you will use every power of your office to block any attempt to cancel the 2028 election or extend Trump's presidency beyond its constitutional limit, then your constituents deserve to know that too.
