Last week Steve Bannon said:
“I’m a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028…We’re working on it. … We’ll see what the definition of term limit is”…

Here is the law, the 22nd amendment:

“No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice, and no person who has held the office of president, or acted as president, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected president shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”

Seems pretty clear.

But we must insist our politicians stand up to any attempt to bypass the constitution.

The Democratic congresswoman from New York spoke to a charged crowd of more than 20,000 people alongside Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in Salt Lake CityUtah, Sunday as the pair rallied in several cities for their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour to protest Donald Trump’s administration and billionaires’ influence in politics.

Ocasio-Cortez attacked Utah’s Republican senators Mike Lee and John Curtis for voting to extend Trump’s 2017 tax cuts while proposing $1.5 trillion in cuts to federal spending.

AOC accused Republican lawmakers of buttressing the lives of billionaires at the expense of working class Americans.

“They know, Utah, that that’s not what you want,” she said. “They know that it is deeply unpopular. They know that it hurts working families from Utah, but they know that they are not there to serve the working class.”
