**Rep. Dan Goldman to Introduce Resolution Supporting Presidential Term Limits**

WASHINGTON - Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., intends to put forward a resolution in the House aimed at reaffirming support for the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which caps the terms a U.S. president can serve. The 22nd Amendment already provides this limitation, making the resolution largely symbolic. As the House is currently under Republican control, it is uncertain whether the resolution will be brought to a vote. Nonetheless, Goldman could propose it as a privileged resolution, compelling Republicans to officially vote on the issue.

The upcoming resolution asserts that the 22nd Amendment strictly limits any individual to two terms as U.S. president, explicitly including President-elect Trump within this restriction. This move by Goldman follows various instances where Trump has jokingly or otherwise suggested extending his tenure beyond the traditional two terms or even adopting dictatorial powers.

Trump, who will be 78 when sworn into office in January, will not be allowed another term under the 22nd Amendment rules that have been in place for over 70 years. The amendment was ratified in 1951, building on legislation proposed in 1947 during Harry Truman's presidency after Franklin D. Roosevelt had served four continuous terms until his death in 1945.

To make changes to the presidential term limits, both congressional chambers would have to agree to amendment language with a two-thirds majority, and then 38 states, equivalent to three-quarters of all states, must ratify the change. Alternatively, two-thirds of the states can petition Congress to convene a constitutional convention, as detailed by the National Conference of State Legislatures. Trump secured victories in 34 states in the recent election.
