Reaffirming the Twenty-second Amendment.
HRES 171 is a non-binding resolution introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives that reaffirms the constitutional limit established by the Twenty-second Amendment, which prohibits any person from being elected president more than twice. The resolution specifically states that this amendment applies to two terms in aggregate and prohibits former President Donald Trump from seeking another presidential term. It cites multiple public statements by Trump from 2018 to 2025 where he expressed interest in serving beyond two terms or questioned the amendment's limits. The resolution serves as a symbolic statement of congressional support for the existing constitutional term limit, with no legal effect on actual eligibility. It does not create new law or alter the Twenty-second Amendment.
