'Really Chilling': Trump Judicial Nominees Refuse to Say He's Not Eligible for 3rd Term [View all]
"During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday, Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) asked Trump judicial nominee John Marck to describe the 22nd Amendment of the US Constitution, which states that 'no person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.' "
“ 'The 22nd Amendment... senator, my career has mostly been in criminal prosecution, I haven’t had an opportunity to use that one, specifically,' Marck replied."
"Joyce Vance, a former federal prosecutor and current professor at the University of Alabama School of Law, said that Trump’s declared intention to run for a third term should not be brushed off as mere trolling."
“ 'This is how he started with the whole ‘if I lose the election is fraudulent’ shtick,' she wrote. 'If we don’t listen to this, shame on us. That man isn’t building a ballroom for the next guy.' "
