Episode 187: Trump's Threats of a Third Term and the 22nd Amendment
Description
President Trump is currently remodeling a house that he does not seem keen to move out of when his lease is up. Donald Sherman of CREW joins Lindsay Langholz to discuss the threat of Trump seeking a third term, and why in spite of clear constitutional text, history cautions us to take the threat seriously. They examine the clear text of the 22nd Amendment, the fight over ratification in the states, and why that all matters now.
