This resolution reaffirms that the Twenty-second Amendment, which limits U.S. presidents to serving two terms in office, is valid and applies to President-elect Donald Trump. The resolution does not create new law or have legal force—it is simply a statement of the House of Representatives expressing its position. The resolution was introduced by Representative Dan Goldman of New York and cites numerous statements Trump made over several years in which he questioned, mused about, or suggested the possibility of serving more than two presidential terms. The resolution has no direct financial impact or implementation timeline, as it is a symbolic measure intended to clarify congressional intent regarding the constitutional amendment's applicability to the incoming president.
