The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution unambiguously prohibits any individual from being elected President more than twice. Attempting to circumvent or amend this provision would undermine a core democratic principle - the peaceful transfer of power enforced by term limits. While Trump continues to flout norms by teasing an unlawful third term, Congress must reaffirm its commitment to upholding the Constitution. I urge you to publicly denounce any efforts to repeal the 22nd Amendment or convene a constitutional convention for this purpose. Doing so would set a dangerous precedent of revising founding principles for political expediency. The American people deserve leaders devoted to fortifying, not dismantling, our democratic institutions and the rule of law. Safeguarding the two-term tradition ultimately protects the will of the people and shores up faith in our electoral system. I hope you will take a stand against Trump's authoritarian overtures and work to reinforce the Constitution's robust system of checks and balances. Our democracy depends on it.
