An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Reject Proposal Undermining Presidential Term Limits

14 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

The proposal to amend the 22nd Amendment and allow a President to serve more than two terms represents a disturbing assault on a key democratic safeguard. Term limits serve as a crucial check against any one individual accumulating excessive power, upholding the bedrock American principle that no person should be above the law or the will of the people. Dismantling this constitutional protection would undermine our system of checks and balances and open the door to authoritarian rule. While Presidents inevitably face crises and challenges, the notion that any single leader is indispensable to the nation's future is antithetical to the spirit of democratic self-governance. The United States has weathered innumerable trials across centuries through the orderly transition of administrations, not the entrenchment of personality cults. Granting one individual the ability to unilaterally extend their tenure in defiance of both precedent and the expressed will of the framers would destabilize America's entire constitutional order. This proposal is an unacceptable overreach that must be unequivocally rejected. Term limits are not an inconvenient technicality to be brushed aside, but a solemn pledge to the American people that their voice will be heard and that no one will be allowed to rule by fiat. Safeguarding this cornerstone of democratic governance must be an inviolable priority for all those entrusted with upholding the Constitution. I urge you to defend the republic by categorically opposing any measure to undermine presidential term limits.
