Justices Shut Down Trump's Third Term Bid | JQJO

Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Sonia Sotomayor, in separate interviews, affirmed the 22nd Amendment's clear limitation on presidential terms to two. Barrett, a conservative appointee, and Sotomayor, the court's senior liberal, both indicated the amendment's language is unambiguous, despite Donald Trump's suggestions of a third term. Their comments, though unusual given justices' typical reticence, come amidst numerous Supreme Court cases involving Trump's efforts to expand executive power.
