Expressing the sense of the Senate that Donald Trump is ineligible in any future elections to be elected Vice-President or President, or to serve as President beyond the conclusion of his current term.
Mr. Markey submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
Expressing the sense of the Senate that Donald Trump is ineligible in any future elections to be elected Vice-President or President, or to serve as President beyond the conclusion of his current term.
Whereas the Twelfth amendment to the Constitution states that “No person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States”;
Whereas the Twenty-Second amendment to the Constitution states that “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”; and
Whereas Donald Trump has been elected to the office of the President twice: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that Donald Trump is ineligible in any future elections to be elected Vice-President or President, or to serve as President beyond the conclusion of his current term.
