Democrat Seeks Resolution to Reaffirm Trump's Two-Term Limit

Rep. Dan Goldman, a Democrat from New York, plans to introduce a resolution reaffirming that Donald Trump cannot serve more than two terms as president, as stipulated by the 22nd Amendment. Despite the amendment already limiting presidents to two terms, Goldman aims to address Trump's past jokes about serving additional terms. The resolution may face challenges in the Republican-controlled House but could be introduced as a "privileged resolution" to force a vote.

Trump's Third Term Jokes Spark Debate on Presidential Limits

Rep. Dan Goldman plans to introduce a House resolution supporting the 22nd Amendment, which limits U.S. presidents to two terms, specifically reaffirming its application to Donald Trump. Although the resolution is largely symbolic and unlikely to pass in the Republican-controlled House, it highlights Trump's past comments about serving more than two terms. The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, restricts presidents to two terms, with specific provisions for vice presidents who assume the presidency.

"Goldman Seeks Censure for Stefanik's 'Hostages' Remark"

Representative Dan Goldman, a Democrat from New York, has announced plans to file a formal censure against Representative Elise Stefanik, a Republican from New York, for allegedly peddling voter fraud conspiracy theories that fueled the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol and referring to the rioters as "hostages." This move marks the latest instance of a lawmaker seeking to use a rare form of congressional punishment to condemn a colleague's speech, but Goldman does not plan to force quick action on the measure, instead hoping for Republican leaders to address the issue themselves.

Cory Booker's Terrifying Escape from Hamas Attack in Israel

Two American lawmakers, Sen. Cory Booker and Rep. Dan Goldman, were in Israel when Hamas launched attacks over the weekend. Both lawmakers sheltered in place in their hotels and have since returned to the U.S. Many other Americans, including church groups and law enforcement officials, remain stranded in Israel as major airlines have suspended flights. The U.S. State Department confirmed that nine U.S. citizens have been killed in the conflict, and an unspecified number of others are unaccounted for.

NYC Murder Victim's Mother Confronts Lawmaker, House Judiciary Committee Holds Hearing on Violent Crime.

During a House Judiciary Committee field hearing on Monday, Madeline Brame, the mother of a New York City murder victim, shouted down Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., warning the lawmaker not to "insult my intelligence." Goldman attempted to use the time granted to him to question Brame to instead criticize the hearing itself, arguing it was a "coverup" for Republicans attempting to defend former President Donald Trump. Brame had testified earlier about Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's mishandling of her son's murder case, arguing that Bragg's office has only served to escalate the city's crime problem, showing no "measurable results" in lowering the city's violent crime rate.

NYC Hearing Sparks Controversy Over Bragg's Policies and Jordan's Role

Rep. Dan Goldman has criticized Rep. Jim Jordan for the House Judiciary Committee's planned hearing in New York City next week, saying he is "not welcome" in Goldman's district. The hearing, titled "Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan," will focus on crime in the city and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Republicans have accused Bragg of being soft on crime while conducting a politically-motivated prosecution of former President Trump. Goldman served as lead counsel during Trump's first impeachment and has called the hearing a "political stunt."
